Fox News conceded on Wednesday that voters have "had enough" of President Donald Trump, after Republicans suffered sweeping defeats in the midterm elections. While pro-Trump media outlets have often gone to great lengths to deflect attention from the president's and his party's shortcomings, the scale of the results left the network — the most-watched name in cable news — little room for spin.

"This election made one thing clear," Fox host Laura Ingraham said. "Voters are not happy."

"There is no question," a Fox News political analyst agreed. "When you look at the polling, 40 percent of Americans said they were voting against Donald Trump. When you look at Democrats, 75 percent of them said they were voting against Donald Trump. This isn't necessarily about, 'We have fallen in love with the Democrats, with their platform' as much as they've said, 'We've had enough.'"

The election results bore that out. Democrats gained seven Senate seats, bringing their majority to 56. While the final House tally had yet to be determined, Democrats had already flipped 25 seats to reach 228, securing control of the chamber. The party had also picked up five governorships as of this writing and appeared positioned to win another in Alaska. Midterm elections, held halfway through a president's term, have historically gone against the party in the White House. This outcome leaves Trump governing alongside full Democratic control of Congress for his remaining two years in office, with the committee chairs and subpoena power that come with majorities in both chambers now in Democratic hands — and any legislation will have to clear a Democratic-led House and Senate.

Many of the victories came in states where such outcomes had long seemed unlikely. Texas elected its first Democratic senator in 40 years while flipping the governor's office blue for the first time in 30. In South Carolina, voters chose a Democratic senator for the first time in 28 years. And in Kansas, they elected a Democrat to the Senate for the first time in nearly 100 years.

According to Fox, the reason voters rejected Republicans across the country was impossible to deny. "They're angry," the analyst explained. "They've looked at the direction of the country, and they feel like cost of living hasn't been addressed. They don't feel like Donald Trump has a plan."

In the analyst's assessment, the election marked a "huge shift in how people view Donald Trump." When he was elected two years ago, a large majority of his voters believed he was fighting for the American people. "Now," the analyst noted, "they feel like he's fighting for his best interest. And he was a big reason [for the losses]. He asked people to act like he was on the ticket, and they did."

While some voices on the right attributed the loss to the GOP's failure to rig the election, the majority of Fox News hosts and analysts — some of whom have voiced growing criticism of Trump in recent weeks — acknowledged that Republicans paid the price for the president's personal and policy shortcomings. Exit polls found that voters' top concerns were the economy, war, and corruption — all issues linked directly to Trump.
