1
All of this, the worst possible outcome for President Donald Trump, who is already tonight complaining about the coverage, complaining about the Republican candidates,
2
and vowing to be Mr. Vito with both chambers now controlled by Democrats.
3
In fact, just a little while ago, let me get to that really quickly.
4
He spoke with Fox News.
5
Take a listen in his first reaction.
6
So that's what I complain about, but it's not gonna matter because the end result is what you saw tonight on television.
7
But I think it's hard to believe that anybody could lose that race to somebody from the administration.
8
But you're gonna accept all these races, right?
9
Yeah, sure, I'll accept them.
10
Why wouldn't they?
11
Well - That was a big question.
12
Yeah, it's really interesting to hear him say that.
13
Why wouldn't he?
14
Because he hasn't accepted so many races in the past and before the election even took place.
15
He was already casting doubt about the veracity of all the ballots cast
16
and sending out the DOJ and members of his administration to monitor the election.
17
So it's very good to hear the president say that tonight.
18
Maybe we can move on.
19
He has vowed to try to work this time with Democrats.
20
Why do I feel like we need to wait and see?
21
Exactly.
22
See if there's any legal challenge.
23
You worked in Washington.
24
You worked in the White House covering politics.
25
What do you make of this blue wave that we're seeing?
26
You know, this was expected somewhat from Democrats right tonight.
27
We knew something was coming, but no one expected this.
28
They're calling it a blue Nami for a reason.
29
There are so many memes out there tonight.
30
I think the president himself knew that it was gonna be some sort of pounding.
31
He said as much just the other day when he was at the reflecting pool in front of the Washington Monument.
32
He said even the greatest president has losses in the midterm.
33
But remember, this time, President Trump made it all about him again.
34
He said, imagine that I'm on the ballot.
35
So how much more could it possibly have been linked to him?
36
These losses are far greater than he saw back in 2018 during the midterms.
37
Back then, he just lost the House, he actually gained in the Senate.
38
But back then, his approval rating was 45, tonight it's sitting at 38, and it's very possible it could go lower as the days move on.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
