While the conspiracy-mongering candidates supported by Donald Trump suffered crushing defeats in the midterm elections, many supporters of his theory of a “stolen” presidential election in 2020 will enter Congress, raising fears of some parliamentary chaos, reports AFP.

The partial results, in which Republicans failed to retake the Senate and took the House with only a slim majority, far from the expected “red wave”, showed the relative rejection of the party’s far right.

Despite these disappointing results, about 170 pro-Trump Republican candidates rejecting Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential victory won seats in the lower house of Congress and will have a strong influence on who becomes the next Republican House Majority Leader .

Among them are Marjorie Taylor Green, elected Republican from Georgia, known for her scandals, or Matt Goetz, representative of Florida. They are expected to step in to try to set an agenda based on the ex-president’s revenge against his political enemies.

In the Democratic-dominated Senate, among the few supporters of Trump’s “Big Lie” — the baseless accusation that the 2020 presidential election was stolen by a billionaire — are Rand Paul of Kentucky and JD Vance of Ohio.

With the unwavering support of his base, Donald Trump continued his baseless allegations of election fraud last week as he announced his 2024 bid for the White House.

“In fact, we all know we’re going to see Donald Trump, Act II, Scene I,” summed up Esquire Digital legal expert Aron Solomon.

“As much as we hope that Congress will focus on laying the groundwork to restore deep faith in democracy … we are witnessing an unprecedented political soap opera, so we must all buckle up,” he said.
