Many voters, who generally back Democrats on the federal level, sided with the GOP on local issues. In recent decades, Vermont has become known for its progressive politics, with figures like independent Sen. Bernie Sanders dominating the New England state's political landscape. AdvertisementBut further down-ballot, Republicans made some key gains in Vermont, breaking Democratic supermajorities as voters concerned about affordability boosted the GOP in a series of pivotal races. "The goal is to get them to come to the table … and to get enough support to work toward more affordability," Scott's policy director, Jason Maulucci, told The New York Times, referring to Democratic state lawmakers. Trump made critical electoral gains across the country as many voters dissatisfied with the economy opted for him instead of Harris.

During WWII, the Royal Navy attacked the fleet of its former ally to keep it from Nazi control. Though Netanyahu's history was faulty — it was the Royal Navy rather than the RAF that struck the French fleet — his analogy was revealing. The Kriegsmarine — the German Navy — was a fraction of the size of the Royal Navy, and thus too small to escort vulnerable troop transports. Vichy France would be allowed a meager army, and the French Navy would be confined to its home ports. This was no repeat of the Battle of Trafalgar, when the Royal Navy smashed a Franco-Spanish fleet off Spain in 1805.
