Former President Donald Trump (R) cheered as Republicans lost a potential pickup in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday night.
Trump made the shot on his social media platform against Joe OâDea (R) in Colorado as many Republicans across the country underperformed expectations.
âJoe OâDea lost BIG!â Trump said. âMAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!â

OâDea lost to incumbent U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) in a race that had grown unexpectedly close in recent days with the RealClearPolitics average recently indicating that the race had moved from âlean Democratâ to âtoss up.â
Reporter Alex Roarty noted how Trump had approached the race vs. how Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) approached the race. âGoing to be a topic of conversation moving forward that Trump told his supporters not to vote for OâDea â while DeSantis recorded a robo-call for him,â Roarty tweeted.
