MAGA's reactions to 2025 election results suggested a dismal mood among Trump's supporters in response to the GOP's nationwide defeat. Turning Point USA executive Tyler Bowyer shared Trump's frustrations about him not being on the ballot, but also chastised Republican leadership for not doing the ground work to be more competitive.

"When Trump isn’t on the ballot and you don’t make investments in chasing votes, you get voters who stay home," Bowyer wrote.

Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night's losses to heart, saying: "The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing." He observed that "Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners," marking "their first statewide wins in 30 years."

Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory) tweeted: "Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath." MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that "2026 will be worse if we don't course-correct."

"Lame duck status is going to come even faster now," wrote conservative commentator Erick Erickson. Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot, and that is never happening again."
