Pro-MAGA host Gina Loudon feared Republicans would lose in the midterms after Democrats dominated election night on Tuesday.

Loudon spoke on Real America's Voice about the election results following President Donald Trump's address to Republican senators on Wednesday.

"Yeah, first of all, I think it was nice to see a president that was so presidential, as he stayed very calm, he didn't really respond to any of the silliness of Mamdani, all the rest of it," she explained. "So that was nice to see."

"I think that the consensus is, I'm looking through our chat," Loudon continued. "And I think that, to put it very succinctly, President Trump, being president, is a huge job. That's obviously an understatement. He has spent a lot of time looking out at the world and trying to fix things. I think it is time to come home and to focus on our, especially our economy."

According to the host, "People are feeling completely disabled economically."

"And if we don't come home and focus on our domestic issues, I'm afraid our midterms will look like this," she added.

Correspondent David Zere agreed.

"And the foreign policy is critical," he said. "But people can't survive. "Lettuce is still $3 a head in the supermarket."

"And Trump's economic agenda has not kicked in yet," Zere insisted. "But people can't wait, and that's exactly what Mamdani took advantage on yesterday in New York City."

Loudon argued that Republicans were losing elections because they were "letting [Democrats] label us as these, you know, awful, selfish capitalists."

"And the difference between a tyrant and Donald Trump is, yes, Donald Trump is wealthy, but he wants every American to be wealthy. He said it many times. He's working for it every single day. And I think it's going to take more than nine months to get it done," she remarked.

A Florida man who voted for Donald Trump and supports his immigration crackdown was charged with making threats against the White House and federal agents because his Colombian fiancée was facing delays in getting a visa.

Tristen Elijah Giroux had been calling U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to complain about the visa process and became impatient when he was unable to reach a live service representative. A criminal complaint shows that his frustration boiled over into violent threats on the recorded line, reported The Independent.

“I’m gonna burn down the White House,” Giroux said on the recording, according to the affidavit. “I’m gonna go choke out every ICE member I see. Kill them all.”

The 30-year-old Giroux had called USCIS on Oct. 24, in the midst of a government shutdown, from his mobile phone, which the FBI identified after the Department of Homeland Security forwarded an electronic tip about his threats, and he admitted to agents that he had trouble navigating the system's interactive voice recognition system.

“He explained that he called USCIS to try to resolve an issue he was having with his upcoming marriage between him and his paramour, a Colombian national, for whom Giroux was seeking a K1 visa,” the affidavit states. “Giroux had sent in the documents regarding their intended marriage, but USCIS had sent them back without explanation. Giroux explained to me that he was running out of time to get the paperwork squared away and was extremely frustrated that he was unable to get a hold of an actual representative and kept getting routed to the automated system.”

The man confessed to investigators that he'd made threats against ICE agents and the White House in an effort to draw attention to his fiancée's issues, which he said eventually happened, according to the affidavit.

“Giroux advised that he did eventually speak with a representative, who was helpful, and he was able to get the situation straightened out,” the affidavit states.

He insisted that he “had no intention of harming anyone,” and told agents “how stupid it was that he had said those things and that he regretted it.”

“Giroux said that he is a supporter of President Trump,” the affidavit added. “Giroux said he has seen the ICE protests on the social media platform TikTok, and that they disgust him because he is supportive of ICE’s efforts. Giroux explained that he is trying to handle the immigration of his paramour in the right way, and it is so difficult, while in the meantime, people are entering the country illegally.”

He was arrested Oct. 27 and charged with one count of transmitting a threat to kill in interstate commerce. He was released from custody later that day on a personal recognizance bond.

If convicted, Giroux faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
