Trump doesn't have a massive mandate but national dems have given in to that framing too.
You just have to actually pay attention to them which practically nobody does
But there's a reason that there's a huge upswell in democratic voters being frustrated at the lack of action - see Schumer caving with 0 concessions on the CR
Which means 37 Dems were out in force. And literally 100% of House Dems were no.

Losing these states in 2024 except MN was statistically a win is this what you’re selling?
Why? Because Republicans have shown they’re so great at governing?
No- it was literally shittiest incumbent environment (inflation, post Covid, etc) in literally a century.
Always. In every Democratic silver lining you must find a cloud.
