Fox News’ Martha MacCallum chalked up Democrats’ big wins on Tuesday to voters’ concerns about inflation under President Donald Trump.
During Tuesday night’s election coverage, MacCallum told Sean Hannity she believed high prices drove voters to Democrats in Tuesday’s elections in New York City, New Jersey, and elsewhere. MacCallum was covering elections with Bret Baier.
“This idea of affordability, which just basically means inflation, that prices are too high and that that’s a real sensitivity spot for people, is, I think, something that Republicans do have to look carefully at. It’s obvious that they’re very aware of it,” she said.
Republicans, she argued, will need to make their message on the economy clear before the 2026 midterms.
“Republicans are going to want to work on making sure that that is tangible, that people feel that increase. And I think, you know… it ends up being the simple story of a lot of elections. And that’s clearly one of the lines here,” she said.
Democrats racked up a number of victories on Tuesday night, including Democrat Zohran Mamdani winning in the New York City mayoral race and Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) winning the New Jersey gubernatorial race against Republican Jack Ciattarelli. In Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger defeated Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears.
