With the midterms now a year away, I thought I'd share this with you. The results of the presidential election vs what happened two year after in the midterms.

Presidential Election vs. Midterm 2 years later/Percentages won’t equal 100% due to third party votes

2020 Biden 52% Trump 47% 2022 ????????????????????????????????????

2016 Trump 46% Clinton 48%
2018 Republicans 45% -1, Democrats 54% +6

2012 Obama 51% Romney 47%
2014 Democrats 46% -5, Republicans 51% +4

2008 Obama 53% McCain 46%
2010 Democrats 45% -8, Republicans 52% +6

2004 Bush 51% Kerry 48%
2006 Republicans 44% -7, Democrats 52% +4

2000 Bush 48% Gore 48%
2002 Republicans 50% +2, Democrats 45% -3

1996 Clinton 49% Dole 41% Perot 8%
1998 Democrats 48% -1, Republicans 47% +6

1992 Clinton 43% Bush 37% Perot 19%
1994 Democrats 45% +2, Republicans 52% +15

1988 Bush 53% Dukakis 46%
1990 Republicans 44% -9, Democrats 52% +6

1984 Reagan 59% Mondale 41%
1986 Republicans 44% -15, Democrats 54% +13

1980 Reagan 51% Carter 41% Anderson 7%
1982 Republicans 43% -8, Democrats 55% +14

1976 Carter 50% Ford 48%
1978 Democrats 54% +4, Republicans 45% -3

1972 Nixon 61% McGovern 39%
1974 Republicans 41% -20, Democrats 58% +19

1968 Nixon 44% Humphrey 43% Wallace 13%
1970 Republicans 45% +1, Democrats 54% +11

You can see the huge difference when there was a decent third party candidate, how those votes usually went to the party out of power.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
