Kevin McCarthy has been reaffirmed as the House GOP Leader by a vote of 188-31. If the GOP wins the House, then McCarthy will be the new Speaker of the House.
The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbot, just tweeted this:
I invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions to fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to defend our state against an invasion. I’m using that constitutional authority, & other authorization & Executive Orders to keep our state & country safe:
AFTER MASS MAILER VOTES COME IN, DNC WINS SENATE – In almost every tight race in this year’s US Senate elections that were run where Democrats controlled the vote counting and allowed mass mailer elections, the slate of DNC candidates would win, defying polls and common sense in the process. Thanks largely to the captured youth vote and mass mailer gamesmanship, the DNC has a stranglehold on the heart of American power.
The leftist molotov-cocktail thrower known as The Daily Kos revel in this seditious outcome:
Cortez Masto trailed on election night but gradually cut her deficit over the following days as ballots submitted by mail or through drop boxes were tabulated, and outlets called her race seconds after she took the lead on Saturday. Cortez Masto, whose win six years ago made her the nation’s first Latina senator, leads Laxalt 48.8-48.1 with 98% of the Associated Press’ estimated vote in, a tight victory that came after a campaign that attracted massive amounts of money from both sides.
Over in neighboring Arizona, Kelly leads Masters 52-46 with 93% of the estimated vote in. Kelly, like Cortez Masto, spent the 2022 cycle as one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the nation, but Masters proved to be one of the weakest GOP Senate nominees in a cycle full of them. In addition to being a truly bad fundraiser, Masters, as the University of Virginia’s J. Miles Coleman put it last month, “comes across as a 4chan guy.” Among many other things, Masters this year called Ted…
DNC CONTROL OVER YOUTH IS UNDENIALBE AFTER MIDTERMS – The 2022 Midterms turned out to be a disappointment for Americans who were hoping to end the socio-cultural stranglehold the DNC-CCP has over the land. The blame for that disappointment can be put squarely on the young. Voters under 30 gave the Democrats a 28 point advantage, reflective of the indoctrination powers the DNC-CCP possesses over the lands they unrighteously occupy.
Democrats would have gotten crushed without young voter support. Democratic House candidates won voters under the age of 45 by 13 points, while losing voters age 45 and older by 10 points.
Breaking it down further, House Democratic candidates won voters under 30 by 28 points — that’s an increase from their 26-point edge with this group two years ago.
The Red Wave has turned into a red ripple, for now, with key positive outliers in Florida, where Ron DeSantis and the Republican Party won big, effectively turning Florida red for the next election cycle. Outside of Florida, Republican Ron Johnson held on to his Senate Seat in Wisconsin, but so did New Hampshire Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan.
The House is still in doubt as we write this report, with Republicans likely to gain a slim majority, while the Senate comes down to three races, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. The Republicans need to win one to gain a razor-thin majority in the Senate. The Democrats have 48 seats, the Republicans have 50.
The Governorships currently show 22 Democratic versus 24 Republican seats, with 4 races remaining uncalled, including the Arizona Governor’s race where Republican challenger Kari Lake has pulled to within a few thousand votes of Democratic Challenger Katie Hobbs with only 75 percent of the vote reported. That race is already marred by bad voting machines and suspicious activity, all under the authority of the Democrat in the race, Katie Hobbs, the Secretary of State of Arizona.
Even as I write this, that red ripple might yet be a red wave after all, but certainly no tsunami or redpocolypse.
Control of the US Congress hung in the balance early Wednesday, with both Republicans and Democrats notching victories in some of the most competitive races in a midterm election that centered on voter frustration over high inflation and the sudden rollback of abortion rights, with elections for Congress, Senate and state governors up for grabs.
In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis, who is thought to be considering a possible run for the White House in 2024, won reelection after support from Donald Trump.
In Georgia, incumbent Governor Brian Kemp defeated the high profile Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams, who campaigned to sign up more minority voters during the last two years. And former Trump White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders was elected as Arkansa’s first female governor.
Republican J.D. Vance will win the Ohio Senate race, CNN projects, outlasting a stronger-than-expected challenge from Democrat Tim Ryan and keeping the seat under GOP control.
Vance’s win is a boon for Republicans and a victory for former President Donald Trump, whose endorsement in the Republican primary helped Vance emerge from the contentious intraparty fight.
Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake narrowed Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs’ lead as the results in one of the state’s most consequential races continued to roll in Wednesday.
Lake’s shrinking of Hobbs’ big early advantage was expected by many political observers, and it echoed the voting patterns seen in Arizona in the 2020 presidential election.
The former television news anchor carried 70% of votes cast statewide on Election Day, collapsing what once was a 14 percentage-point Hobbs lead among early voters to less than 1 percentage point as of Wednesday morning.
The morning after the midterm elections, Nimay Ndolo woke up thinking about Stacey Abrams.
“I just hope that she’s okay,” said Ndolo, an online-content creator in Smyrna, Ga. “I hope she’s sitting in bed with some Starbucks. I hope her feet are up. I hope she’s talking to her mom, talking to her family.”
ATLANTA — Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker will meet in a Dec. 6 runoff in Georgia after neither reached the general election majority required under state law.
New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul will win a first full term in office, CNN projects, defeating Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin and making history as the first elected female governor of New York.
Hochul’s victory keeps New York Democrats on track to maintain their now nearly two-decade-old winning streak in statewide elections. A Buffalo native, Hochul took over the top job in August 2021 following the resignation of Andrew Cuomo, the three-term governor who faced impeachment amid a sexual harassment scandal. Despite being his lieutenant governor, Hochul and Cuomo were never closely aligned and she moved quickly upon taking office to clear it of his allies.
Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro is thanking voters for giving him a win in Pennsylvania’s governor’s race.
But the Republican nominee, state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Franklin) had not conceded as of late Wednesday afternoon.
Shapiro is already claiming victory by the widest margin in a Pennsylvania gubernatorial race for a non-incumbent in nearly 80 years. The Associated Press has called the race for Shapiro.
Democratic incumbent Gretchen Whitmer faced off against Republican challenger Tudor Dixon in Tuesday’s Midterm Election. She was declared winner early Wednesday.
ALPHARETTA, Ga./PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov 9 (Reuters) – Control of the U.S. Senate hung in the balance on Wednesday as Republicans moved closer to securing a House majority, a day after Democrats outperformed expectations and history in U.S. midterm elections.
The Senate contests in Nevada and Arizona, where Democratic incumbents were seeking to hold off Republican challengers, were not yet called, with thousands of ballots still to be counted.
If the parties split those races, the Senate’s fate would come down to a Georgia runoff election for the second time in two years, after Edison Research projected neither Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock nor Republican Herschel Walker would reach the 50% necessary to avoid a Dec. 6 one-on-one rematch.
Republicans picked up at least 10 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, Edison Research projected. That would be three more than…
Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne lost her bid for reelection against Republican state Sen. Zach Nunn in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District.
Axne is a member of the Committees on Financial Services and Agriculture. Prior to her time in Congress, she worked for the Tribune Company, the State of Iowa, and as a small business owner with her husband.
New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the head of House Democrats’ campaign arm responsible for protecting vulnerable incumbents in his party, lost his re-election race to Republican Mike Lawler, NBC News projects.
Maloney conceded the race in a phone call to Lawler earlier Wednesday, a spokesperson for Maloney’s campaign said.
More than anything, Maloney’s defeat represents a symbolic victory for the GOP, particularly given that Democrats appeared to limit significant losses and dodge a “red wave” that many Republicans had predicted.
Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne lost her bid for reelection against Republican state Sen. Zach Nunn in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District.
Axne is a member of the Committees on Financial Services and Agriculture. Prior to her time in Congress, she worked for the Tribune Company, the State of Iowa, and as a small business owner with her husband.
Axne was elected to the House in 2018, becoming one of the first two women from Iowa elected to the House in the nation’s history after she defeated incumbent Rep. David Young. In 2020, she…
Republicans on Tuesday tightened their supermajority hold in North Dakota’s Legislature, which will see a raft of newcomers take office and a clock begin to tick on term limits.
Unofficially, the GOP grew its Senate majority to 43-4 in the general election, with Democrats losing a net three seats from an already tiny minority of seven.
The four Senate Democrats all will be from Fargo-area districts. It’s unclear how they will handle committee assignments with so small a minority.
Republicans appeared to pick up a net of two seats in the House for an 82-12 majority.
Democrats held onto a string of competitive governors’ seats in the midterm elections after making the case to voters that Republican challengers posed a threat to abortion rights and democracy in their states.
The wins by Democrats in more than half a dozen states came despite Republican efforts to blame the party in power for problems like inflation and rising crime and national headwinds that were expected to favor the GOP.
Of the 36 governors’ races being decided in Tuesday’s elections, Democrats flipped Massachusetts and Maryland, and it was too early to say Wednesday whether they could win control of the Arizona governor’s office for the first time since 2006.
As Bob Stefanowksi watched the vote tallies come in on election night, he kept a close eye on two Republican bellwether towns where Gov. Ned Lamont was outperforming expectations – a sign that his second bid for governor was slipping away from him.
New Canaan, where Stefanowski won 60 percent of the vote during his 2018 run, instead went for Lamont with 52 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results. And Southington, which Stefanowski won with 58 percent of the vote to Lamont’s 36 percent four years ago, issued the Republican a much smaller victory this time around – just seven percentage points compared to 22.
Who will control Congress after yesterday’s midterm elections remains unclear, but two things are certain: Moderation can pay big electoral dividends, and Donald Trump has become a liability for the Republican Party.
Yes, plenty of extremist candidates just won office. According toThe New York Times, more than 200 Republican candidates who denied the results of the 2020 election or flirted with doing so secured victories on Tuesday. In many states, too few voters are queasy enough about the MAGA movement’s attacks on election integrity to keep the deniers out of office. Clearly, extremist candidates who question our democratic institutions retain some electoral viability.
But in practically every state where a more extreme Republican candidate ran alongside a more moderate one for different statewide offices, the more moderate candidate drew a higher share of the vote. For decades, “split-ticket voting” has been on the decline….
BIDEN THROWS FORMER DNC ALLY, TWITTER, UNDER THE BUS – President Joe Biden spoke to a wealthy group of doners at a fundraising event just before the midterm election in which he told his fellow millionaires and billionaires that Elon Trump bought “an outfit that spews lies all across the world.”
At a fundraising event in Chicago on Friday, President Joe Biden broke his silence on Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, saying the social media platform “spews lies all across the world.”
The comments were made as Biden warned donors about the long-term effects the upcoming midterm election will have on coming years, Bloomberg reported.
DID JOE BIDEN JUST TIP HIS HAND FOR ELECTION FORTIFICATION REDUX? – In Joe Biden’s hate-filled speech claiming only Democrats should win Democratic elections, he also laid the groundwork for another mail-in ballot election counting marathon similar to what was experienced in the mass-mailer election of 2020. He stated, “…. many states don’t start counting ballots until after the polls close on November 8th. That means in some cases we won’t know the winner in the election for a few days, until a few days after the election.”
Joe Biden: You know that many states don’t start counting ballots until after the polls close on November 8th. That means in some cases we won’t know the winner in the election for a few days, until a few days after the election. It takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner. It’s always ween important for citizens in a democracy to be engaged. Now it’s important for citizens to be patient.
TRUMP TAX RETURNS MIGHT NOT REACH CONGRESS AFTER ALL – Chief Justice Roberts has issued a temporary stay on an order for President Donald Trump’s tax returns to be handed over to congress. The move could delay the potential for congress to receive his returns to the point that the GOP controls the House. It is doubtful the GOP will seek to receive the records should they win the midterms.
The Supreme Court’s stay of a congressional demand for Donald Trump’s taxes is almost certainly the final nail in the coffin of Democrats’ efforts to investigate the former president’s finances. If — as is widely expected — Republicans take control of the House in next week’s midterm election, the demand could be withdrawn before the documents are handed over. The court is likely to rule against Trump before the new Congress takes office on Jan. 3, 2023, but he will realistically be able to stonewall until then — and avoid meaningful consequences.
BIDEN’S DEMOCRACY DIES IF GOP WINS SPEECH TRIGGERS VIOLENCE AGAINST REPUBLICANS – After President Joe Biden gave a speech in which he essentially equated the Republicans winning the 2022 election to the death of democracy, Republican gubernatorial candidate General Don Bolduc was physically assaulted before a debate with is opponent and Republican Illinois gubernatorial candidate Scott Lennox received a voicemail death threat from a Democrat who threatened to skin him alive and feed him to his family.
Joe Biden’s divisive rhetoric attacking his opponents as racist and a threat to democracy has gotten a Republican gubernatorial candidate attacked before a debate. I think I’m doing this right.
Twenty-one-year-old Scott Lennox of Illinois left a depraved voicemail last week for Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey in which he threatened to “skin” Bailey “alive” and “feed his f****ng family to him,” according to state prosecutors.
Lennox had a “heated argument” with his friends at a Chicago bar last Friday over pro-Bailey advertisements that made him “angry,” which led to the threatening voicemail, prosecutors allege.
In that message, Lennox allegedly threatened to “skin Darren Bailey alive,” and “feed his f****ng family to him as he is alive and screaming in f****ng pain.”
Biden’s Cyber Czar Says Burst Water Pipes Could Again Happen this Election….and That’s Normal
BIDEN CYBER SECURITY CHIEF TELLS AMERICANS EXPECT ELECTION “GLITCHES” – U.S. cybersecurity chief Jen Easterly recently warned Americans ahead of the elections that “There are going to be errors. There are going to be glitches. That happens in every election. But that’s why there are multiple layers of security controls and resilience built into the system. These things are going to happen … somebody will forget their key to the polling place, a water pipe will burst … [These] are normal things. They’re not nefarious.”
U.S. cybersecurity chief Jen Easterly said the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) does “not censor information,” and voters should expect “normal” errors and glitches, such as burst water pipes, during the midterm elections next week.
A week out from the U.S. midterm elections, Easterly, a Biden appointee, has talked about CISA’s role in securing election infrastructure and the risk vector of disinformation and misinformation.
