Mnoge vodeće ličnosti i analitičari mainstream medija izrazili su svoje iznenađenje ili razočaranje rezultatima izbora za Kongres 2018. dok se “plavi val” kojem su se svi nadali nije materijalizirao.
Evo reakcija mainstream ličnosti:

Ljevičarski kolumnist New York Timesa Paul Krugman: “Pa, ja se nalazim u zraku, ali na mreži. I nisam sretan. Dom bi mogao otići na bilo koju stranu, ali jasno je da republikanci prolaze bolje od očekivanog nakon što su im završni argumenti bili utemeljeni isključivo na strahu i lažima. Biti će vrlo sumorno.”
Well, I'm in midair but online. And not happy. The House could go either way, but clearly Republicans are doing better than expected after a closing argument based entirely on fear and lies. This is going to be very grim.
