“I think it’s basically the third election in a row that Donald Trump has cost us the race, and it’s like three strikes, you’re out,” Larry Hogan, the outgoing Republican governor of Maryland and a frequent Trump critic, told CNN on Sunday.

Never one to accept responsibility for (or even acknowledge) defeat, Trump instead suggested that Republican candidates lost because Americans are simply not yet feeling the sting of near record-high inflation and economic uncertainty.

Time will tell whether that downbeat message will resonate with voters, but Democrats have wasted no time in reminding Americans of what they may not have appreciated about Trump’s presidency. The Tuesday speech brought a flood of anti-Trump fundraising emails from Democratic candidates and groups, and the sitting president himself joined in on the pile-on. Even before Trump had concluded his remarks, Joe Biden shared a video on Twitter noting that his predecessor saw an overall decline in jobs and attempted to overturn the Affordable Care Act.
