Fox News Slowly Realizes Republicans Are SCREWED

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:00Watters says the early results do not look like a Republican wave.
3:31The coverage projects Roy Cooper flipping North Carolina's Senate seat to the Democrats.
8:44Baier announces a Democratic House majority in the next Congress.
11:02The coverage projects that Democrats have also secured control of the Senate.
12:45Trump acknowledges surprise at Republican results, then promises to use his veto against Democratic legislation.

Jesse Watters starts with a blunt assessment: "It's not a red wave." Before long, he is asking whether Republicans can save the Senate at all.

TYT Investigates has assembled Fox News's midterm coverage into a compilation of race calls, panel reactions and Donald Trump's eventual phone-in. It is footage from the broadcaster, not an original TYT panel, and its sequence gives the video a clear progression: uncertainty gives way to projections of Democratic control of both chambers.

The upload drew about 325,000 views in its first thirteen hours. Regular videos on the channel usually draw around 10,000 on their first day, making this an unusually fast start even before a full day had passed.

The individual calls explain the changing conversation. Georgia goes to Jon Ossoff, followed by a projected North Carolina Senate flip for Roy Cooper. Texas then supplies another Democratic Senate projection, with James Talarico defeating Ken Paxton in the coverage. Between those calls, Bret Baier announces that Democrats will control the House in the next Congress.

The closing stretch moves from election arithmetic to governing. Trey Gowdy argues that winning an election does not itself amount to a mandate. Trump, joining by phone, acknowledges surprise: "I'm a little bit surprised. I thought they'd do better."

His response is to emphasize the presidency's remaining leverage. "It's the power of veto," he says, promising to use it against Democratic legislation.
