“Look what the Democrats are gonna most likely have another set of huge historic midterm losses”

The claim, plainly

The Democratic Party will suffer historic midterm losses in the 2022 congressional elections, comparable to the 1994 and 2010 midterm losses.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

In the certified results of the November 8, 2022 congressional midterm elections, the Democratic Party did not suffer historic losses comparable to the 1994 (-54 House seats, -8 Senate seats) or 2010 (-63 House seats, -6 Senate seats) midterms. Instead, Democrats suffered a modest net loss of 9 seats in the House of Representatives and achieved a net gain of 1 seat in the Senate, outperforming the historical average for an incumbent president's party and contradicting the prediction of massive, historic losses.

Certified 2022 midterm election results show Democrats lost a net of 9 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives (Republicans 222, Democrats 213).
Certified 2022 Senate results show Democrats gained a net of 1 seat, expanding their majority to 51 seats.
Historic wave midterm benchmarks referenced (1994 and 2010) saw Democratic net losses of 54 to 63 House seats and 6 to 8 Senate seats, far exceeding the single-digit House losses and Senate gain in 2022.
