“I love my father. This time I have decided to give priority to my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I don’t plan to be involved in politics,” Ivanka, 41, said in the statement issued on social media after her father announced her candidacy.

Some of the main conservative mediaAs the New York Post, foxnews Y The Wall Street Journal, They are already turning their backs on Trump after the Republicans have not obtained the victory that many media predicted in mid-term electionsas reported efe.

The conservative newspaper New York Post (owned by tycoon Rupert Murdoch) published a few days ago a cover with a caricature of the tycoon in which he appeared with a huge head, sitting on a wall, and where it was pointed out that Trump “sabotaged” the midterm elections by proposing Republican candidates wrong.
In an opinion piece, journalist John Podhoretz describes the former president as “toxic”: “What the results suggest is that Trump is perhaps the deepest vote repellent in modern US history,” he writes in the newspaper that until recently has served as a speaker for Trump.
As to The Wall Street Journalconsidered a spokesperson for the financial world, also points to Trump as responsible for the “red tide” (the color of the Republicans) that was expected in these mid-term elections.
“Trump’s Republican candidates failed at the polls in states that were clearly ‘winnable’. Perhaps these losses are what the party needs to hear before 2024,” the editorial board notes in an opinion piece titled “Trump Is the GOP’s Biggest Loser.”
This line of argument is picked up even by the centrist The Washington Postwhich notes in an opinion piece that “the country said no” to a Republican Party “that offered anger and Trump”, and adds that to “a substantial majority (58% according to the poll of voters conducted on election day ) does not like the former president”.
As Trump fades in popularity, re-elected Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has gained favoritism in the media, including in foxnewsTrump’s own medium of choice for years: “Ron DeSantis is the new leader of the Republican Party”reads the headline of a network opinion piece, whose author Liz Peek writes that “Republicans are ready to move on without Trump.”
