Should the GOP be worried after Doug Jones’ Alabama Senate race win? Some on the left believe so. A roundup of editorials Wednesday take a look at the issue.

Opinions from the left:

1. Doug Jones' victory should make Trump nervous

From The Washington Post: Doug Jones’ win is about a rising tide of American who won’t swallow the bilge the president is pushing.

2. A devastating loss for Trump in Alabama

From CNN: President Donald Trump should be sweating after the shocking outcome in Alabama’s special election.

3. A GOP Tragedy in Four Acts

From The New York Times: Republicans embraced Trump, Moore and post-ethics politics. In defeat, they are officially post-shame.
