Blue wave

A blue wave of Democratic voters in the 2018 midterm elections has been predicted, by various pundits and partisans, to take away the Republican majority in Congress.

• “We are doing better now with jobs. Today there are more people working than at any time in the history of our country, so I don’t think there’s going to be a blue wave. I hope there’s a red wave.” -- Donald Trump, September 2018

Seth McLaughlin wrote in The Washington Times of September 23, 2018:

Predictions of a looming Democratic “blue wave” haven’t soured Christian conservative activists, who say President Trump has notched so many surprise wins that they have faith he will again defy the naysayers and deliver Republican victories in November. [1]
