According to a report by The New York Times, six days before the midterm elections, over a dozen of Donald Trump’s top strategists held a private video call filled with gallows humor regarding the election outcome. During the call, James Blair, who oversaw the president’s midterm strategy, jokingly suggested they might seek asylum in Israel. Tony Fabrizio, the president’s chief pollster, sarcastically remarked that perhaps Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had recently won his own election, would protect them. The report also highlights how the war in Iran negatively impacted Republican polling numbers and discusses the mismanagement of Trump’s $400 million campaign fund, which contributed to significant losses in key states.
