Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) is projected to win a second term representing the Granite State, fending off Republican challenger Don Bolduc in a key victory for Democrats.
NBC News and ABC News both called the race. The victory allows Democrats, whose hopes of keeping the Senate would have been diminished with the loss of the seat, some breathing room as they wait for answers in other key swing states. Republicans had long seen New Hampshire as a prime pick-up opportunity going into 2022, but Hassan maintained a solid polling lead
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) was projected to win reelection against Republican Tiffany Smiley, avoiding an upset victory in what is typically a solidly Democratic state.
NBC News and ABC News both called the race for Murray.
Some polls appeared to show the race tightening somewhat as Election Day approached, fueling Republican hopes that Smiley could pull off a win against the five-term incumbent.
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.
Vance continues a long line of Republican victories in a state that has tilted towards the party in recent years. Other than Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, no Democrat has won nonjudicial statewide office
Four years ago, Beto O’Rourke became the next great hope for the Texas Democratic Party.
Starting his senatorial campaign as a little-known congressman from El Paso, he captured lightning in a bottle by barnstorming across the state’s 254 counties on his way to a narrow loss to Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.
Though he came up short, O’Rourke helped sweep in down-ballot victories across the state, helping Democrats pick up 12 seats in the Texas House, two seats in the Texas Senate and boosting newcomer Lina Hidalgo over longtime Republican Ed Emmett in the race for Harris County judge.
Even before the race was officially called for Florida Republicans Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio, MSNBC began losing it over the strong early results in the Hispanic county of Miami-Dade, which was a reliably solid Democrat county.
The devastation for the MSNBC panel set in early when national political correspondent Steve Kornacki went to the electronic board and showed that Senator Marco Rubio had an early lead in Miami-Dade County. This news received an audible shock from the panelists off-camera:
STEVE KORNACKI: We got something else coming in? Oh, we just got -- I'm told we just got Miami-Dade. This is a big one in Florida. Let’s take a look.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has won re-election in a rematch against Democrat Stacey Abram.
The incumbent governor has been favored to win for most of the race, though the odds turned more heavily in his favor in the closing months. Kemp touted his record in his first term as governor as the reason he should be re-elected. Abrams attacked his record as governor and also pushed a more progressive platform in an attempt to rally Democratic voters. Like most Democrats across the country, she also emphasized the Dobbs decision at the Supreme Court and its effect on abortion rights.
Below are the statewide results for Georgia, which you can toggle
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) was projected to win his reelection bid against Democrat Joy Hofmeister in a race that polls showed appeared to be much tighter than initially expected. NBC News and ABC News called the race for Stitt.
Hofmeister had closed the gap with Stitt to a few points in many polls, with some showing her ahead. The Republican Governors Association launched a major ad buy as Election Day was just a few weeks away to avoid an upset.
Republicans had said they expected the race to be tight but for the incumbent to hold on and win.
Republican Anna Paulina Luna has defeated Democrat Eric Lynn in the race to represent Florida’s 13th district in the House of Representatives.
Previously a Democratic stronghold represented by Charlie Crist, who vacated to run against Florida governor Ron DeSantis, the seat became competitive following redistricting. Air force veteran Paulina Luna won the Republican primary with 44 percent of the vote, and went on to face a tight race against former the Democratic candidate, former Obama aide Eric Lynn. A poll from local researcher St. Pete Polls two weeks out from the election showed the candidates separated by just one percentage point
During an interview with ABC News on Tuesday, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison vowed that even if Republicans take control of Congress in the midterm elections, “we are going to continue to double down in terms of the efforts” that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris “are trying to make in order to improve this country, to give relief to hardworking Americans.”
Host Diane Macedo asked, “Now, Jaime, if Republicans do take control of Congress, how will you re-examine Democrats’ strategy ahead of 2024?”
As if America already didn't have enough of what fascism-savvy Argentines call "the corporate republic," we now learn that big banks are conditioning their credit to big businesses based on "diversity" quotas, not creditworthiness.
According to the Washington Free Beacon:
Amid an uptick in race-conscious hiring programs throughout corporate America, many prominent businesses are now writing racial and gender quotas into their credit agreements with banks, tying the cost of borrowing to the companies' workforce diversity,

Colorado voters will send Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet back to Washington for a third term after the incumbent defeated his Republican challenger in a race that conservatives had hoped would deliver an election night surprise.
Bennet had the upper hand in polls throughout the campaign, but his seat appeared more vulnerable toward the end of the race as Republicans made a final push for his opponent, Denver business executive Joe O’Dea. The Colorado contest never garnered the same attention as tough-to-call races in swing states like Pennsylvania and Georgia
Montgomery, Ala — Republican Katie Britt has won the U.S. Senate race in Alabama, becoming the first woman elected to the body from the state.
Britt will fill the seat held by Richard Shelby, her one-time boss who is retiring after 35 years in the Senate. Britt was Shelby's chief of staff before leaving to take the helm of a state business lobby. Britt defeated Democrat Will Boyd and Libertarian John Sophocleus.
Britt, 40, cast herself as part of a new generation of conservative leaders and will become one of the Senate's youngest members. She will be the first Republican woman to hold one of the state's Senate seats.
New York Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis sailed to victory in her rematch against former Democratic Rep. Max Rose.
Malliotakis had ousted Rose, a decorated ex-Army officer, in 2020 after he served just a single term, and was able to hold onto the seat.
Albany Democrats had tried to unseat Malliotakis with redrawn congressional lines that would have added liberal parts of Brooklyn – including Park Slope – to her conservative, majority Staten Island 11th district.
Obama 2012 campaign manager David Plouffe delivered a dark analysis for the Democrats in response to the GOP winning in Florida on Tuesday night: “The Obama coalition is gone.”
Incumbent Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) won over former Gov. and Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) and incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) won over Rep. Val Demings (D-FL).
Here’s how the exchange on MSNBC went down between anchor Alex Wagner, former Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) and Plouffe:
WAGNER: I think we have over two-thirds of the vote in from Florida. What is happening down there?CURBELO: Florida, Florida, Florida, right? That’s a word that has been set many times in the studios on nights like this.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — All 782 Harris County polling locations were open an extra hour on Election Day due to a court order that was filed over issues at the polls throughout the day.
All Harris County polling locations were open until 8 p.m.
Voters who got in line after 7 p.m. were able to cast provisional ballots. Provisional ballots were placed into a sealed envelope instead of being inserted into the scanning machine. All provisional ballots were counted separately at the Central County station inside NRG.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Texas Civil Right Project filed an emergency court order against Harris County to secure the extra hour of voting.
AUSTIN, Texas - FOX News Decision Desk projects Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to be re-elected for a third term in Texas, defeating Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke.
Abbott was first elected in 2014 to the position that Republicans have held in the state since 1995.
He rallied his base around a record number of illegal border crossings from Mexico to the U.S., aggressively courted Hispanic voters in South Texas, and seized on economic anxieties and recession fears that have created headwinds for Democrats nationally.
The governor’s race highlighted issues like school safety, gun laws, border security and abortion in light of recent events in the state.
I want to start this out by saying there’s nothing wrong with distrusting the system that is the gateway to our country’s future. You should. Having a healthy dose of paranoia around how the system works and operates makes it that much harder for anything to go wrong. It never sat right with me that it became taboo to even question the 2020 election in mainstream society. Even if there wasn’t any cheating and it really was the “safest election in history” the fact that we weren’t allowed to talk about it was only ever going to stoke doubt. To this day a lot of questions still hang
The exit polls spell trouble for Democrats on Election Day. Voters want a change after the Democrats have been in total power for nearly 2 years.
CNN reported:
Voters unhappy with the state of the nation and largely negative on Biden
7 in 10 voters are unhappy with the state of the nation and largely negative on Joe Biden, according to CNN exit polls.
The key issues driving voters to the polls: Inflation and crime!
A whopping 75% of voters rated the condition of the nation’s economy “not so good” or “poor” – this means the Democrats are in trouble.

Says It Will Continue ‘Precisely, Surgically’ replies
On the eve of pivotal U.S. midterm elections, a shadowy Russian businessman indicted for interfering in past American elections “admitted” to having done so, and said he would continue in the future, prompting strong reaction from the State Department.
Spokesman Ned Price told reporters that Yevgeny Prigozhin’s “bold confession, if anything, appears to be just a manifestation of the impunity that crooks and cronies enjoy under President Putin and the Kremlin.”
Price said while the U.S. government has no expectation that Putin would act against Prigozhin – who is purportedly a crony of the Russian president – “we’d like to see the Russian Federation act against someone who so openly boasts
Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) is projected to win reelection in Georgia, per Decision Desk HQ.
In what is already shaping up to be a tough night for Democrats, Taylor-Greene’s apparent coasting to a second term will be yet another bitter pill on this Election Night. (Tweet) The outspoken conservative congresswoman was a high-profile target for Democrats, who went so far as to sue to have her removed from the ballot. The suit, which ultimately failed, alleged Taylor-Greene could not run for reelection due to the Constitution’s Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause.”
In another historical moment for the most laughed at and untrusted name in news, CNN does it again. (Video) CNN just did it again. This time it was John King from CNN with Jake Tapper.King told viewers moments ago to, “Stay off of social media, people. If you’re trying to figure out are there really issues with voting, trust your local officials and trust us here [at CNN].”
Even Jake Tapper laughed at this.
Remember in 2016 when CNN’s Chris Cuomo told viewers it’s illegal to look at John Podesta’s emails released by WikiLeaks? Remember how he was laughed at for saying such a thing?
Guam elected James Moylan as a non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives, the first Republican since 1993.
The Pacific Daily News, a local outlet in Guam, reported the results of the race based on partial and unofficial results from the Guam Election Commission around 4:00 a.m. local time.
Moylan defeated former Democrat Speaker Judi Won Pat in the delegates race to represent Gaum as a non-voting member of the U.S. House. At the time of the race being called by the local outlet, Moylan led by 1,648 votes: 17,075 (52.19 percent) votes to 15,427 votes (47.15 percent).
The Republican will fill the seat currently held by incumbent Del. Michael San Nicolas.
Miami — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis notched a quick election night win, NBC News projected Tuesday, a victory that could become a springboard for a future White House run and put him on a collision course with former President Donald Trump.
DeSantis’ victory over former Rep. Charlie Crist — fueled by a massive cash advantage, political headwinds against Democrats like Crist and changing demographics in a reddening state — contrasted sharply with the governor’s election four years ago when he won by less than half a percentage point.
Sen. Marco Rubio also cruised to victory Tuesday night, NBC News projected, securing his third term amid a statewide Democratic collapse. He defeated
Culver City, California voters will decide if 16- and 17-year-olds can participate in future elections, potentially changing the electorate in the Los Angeles County suburb.
If passed, Measure VY will lower the voting age to 16 for city and school board elections, putting it in the extreme minority across the country.
Supporters of the initiative argue that at 16, young people are able to work and pay taxes, therefore they have a right to vote. Opponents of the measure say 16-year-olds are too willful and easily persuaded to drive policy and that allowing them to vote will mean an advantage for liberal progressives.
“Conservatives and even some centrist Democrats also fear that
President Joe Biden believes the next few years in politics will set the stage for generations, expressing this theme in recent speeches.
“Our lifetimes are going to be shaped by what happens the next year to three years,” Biden said. “It’s going to shape what the next couple of decades look like. For real.”
The president made his comments as he delivered his last campaign speech for the midterm elections on Monday night in Maryland.
Biden has grown reflective on the campaign trail speaking about the historic impact of his presidency, and how it will impact the future of the country if Democrats lose.
You may have noticed that Democrats only sent President Joe Biden to deep blue states leading up to Election Day. Despite these relatively safe assignments, he still managed to tell Americans he planned to shut down all coal plants and stop all drilling for oil. In between ranting about “Ultra MAGA” Republicans and threats to “our democracy,” Doddering Joe sounded like he had marbles in his mouth, told HBCU students their school was just as good as any other college, and wrestled with his biggest enemy, the teleprompter.
Meanwhile, the Democrats’ stenographers in the legacy media have been issuing brutal fact-checks on Biden’s closing message.
While it’s generally unwise to put too much confidence in exit polls, the interesting part about these is that they come from CNN. That bastion of centrist thought still maintains as one of the most leftist sources in America, but even a news outlet that’s so blue it looks like someone chewed the wrong piece of gum in a Wonka factory can’t seem to hide the overwhelming distrust and disgust America has for the Democrat Party.
The polls indicate some very basic things. For one, support for Biden is incredibly low as his approval rating limps in at a measly 18 percent,
Barring an 11th-hour catastrophe or widespread cheating, Republicans are expected to stomp Democrats across the board in Tuesday’s election.
Polls show Republicans with a big edge on issues that matter most: By double digits, voters trust Republicans to handle inflation, the economy in general, and crime. Democrats only hold a slight edge on education, a longtime Democratic advantage that’s been slipping away in the post-lockdown era.
GOP candidates are competitive in races previously considered safe for Democrats, including Senate seats in New Hampshire and Washington. Republicans are not just poised to take control of the House and the Senate but possibly a handful of governorships and state legislatures,

More than 120 million voters are expected to have cast ballots in this year’s midterm elections by the time the last polls close Tuesday, and they appear ready for a change.
Republicans were expected to pick up three Senate seats from Democrats, gaining a 53-47 majority after two years out of power, according to the latest projection by RealClearPolitics.
The same outlet predicts the GOP will regain their House majority by winning at least 227 seats. Democrats are projected to win at least 174 seats, with the remaining 34 races considered toss-ups that could give the GOP its largest conference since 1946
Officials in Pennsylvania’s most populous city imposed last-minute changes on Nov. 8 to ballot processing that could delay the vote count.
In a 2–1 vote during a special meeting, the Philadelphia city commissioners decided to amend how ballots are processed.
The change focuses on reconciliation, or reviewing absentee ballots and in-person votes to make sure people don’t cast duplicate votes.
Facing pressure from a lawsuit, Commissioners Lisa Deeley, a Democrat, and Seth Bluestein, a Republican, voted to have reconciliation take place for ballots cast in the midterm elections.
Someone just struck lotto gold in the Golden State.
The single winning ticket for the historic $2.04 billion Powerball lottery jackpot was sold in Altadena, Calif., lottery officials said Tuesday.
Only one winner matched all six numbers: 10, 33, 41, 47, 56 and a Powerball of 10. The 1 in 292.2 million chance ticket was sold at Joe’s Service Center, a gas station in Los Angeles County.
The identity of the ticketholder has not yet been shared — but it will be publicized eventually.
In the Golden State, the winner’s full name and the name and location of the business that sold their lucky ticket are required to be disclosed.
A new Pew Research poll found that 45% of Americans, nearly half the country, think the United States should be a "Christian nation" to one degree or another, and that 60% believe America was originally intended to be a Christian nation.
The Pew Research Center conducted the survey among 10,588 U.S. adults and asked them, “Do you think the founders of America originally intended for the U.S. to be a ‘Christian nation’?” 60% of Americans said yes, while 37% said no.

Right-wing figures, including former President Donald Trump, seized on the problems to warn of fraud.

Ten years ago, back in the halcyon days when we simpletons believed the Republicans were at least some of the time an opposition party, and that Willard Mitt Romney was a man of probity and character, I wrote the following in the pages of National Review Online about the election that was about to take place. The piece was entitled "Crush Them."

President Joe Biden, who had been sounding an optimistic note about the midterms, finally conceded Monday night that it'll be 'tougher' for his party to win the House as polls point to a Republican victory.
Biden's comments come as his approval rating dropped down to 39%. His low numbers and fears of a red wave coming out of Tuesday's election has some in the Democratic Party calling for a 'next generation candidate' to run for the White House in 2024.

The red wave has begun on this Election Day, and it has capsized Guam's Democratic Party.
The U.S. territory sends one nonvoting delegate to Congress, and that delegate had always been a Democrat going back to 1993.

U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) workers are not allowed inside polling locations, a Florida official has told the agency.
Brad McVay, general counsel for the Florida Department of State, told DOJ election official John Russ that Florida law does not permit DOJ monitors to be stationed inside of polling places after the DOJ announced it would monitor compliance with federal voting laws in three Florida counties.

Guam has elected a Republican as its non-voting delegate to Congress for the first time since 1993, an encouraging development for the GOP in the first 2022 midterm race called. Republican James Moylan, a senator in the Guam legislature, has defeated Judith Won Pat, former speaker of the Guam Legislature, according to the Pacific Daily News. Partial, unofficial results from the Guam Election Commission showed Moylan leading with 17,075 votes to Won Pat’s 15,427. Moylan is only the second Republican to be elected to the delegate seat since its creation in 1972, according to the report. Democrats will maintain control

Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Without a doubt, former President Donald Trump has not so quietly been hinting that, yes indeed, he will in fact run in 2024 and win back his old job. In fact, in Ohio on Monday night, he said this: “I’m going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Mar-a-Lago.”
He should.
As evidenced by his seriously enthusiastic supporters who attended his various fall rallies around the country in Florida or Pennsylvania or Wisconsin or Ohio or elsewhere, the former president stands a very serious chance of winning.

Inflation is hands down the most important issue on the minds of Americans on the eve of the midterm elections.
An Economist/YouGov poll taken of 1,500 American adults in the first week of November found that 68 percent say that they will be thinking about inflation “a lot” when casting a vote in this year’s election. That’s a higher share than any other issue—from the border, to guns, to abortion—save for the economy, which scores 73 percent. When asked what the single most important issue facing the country is right now, 27 percent say inflation, followed by 10 percent each for healthcare and the economy/jobs.

The polls all say the same thing: Republicans will reclaim the House and Senate.
The Republican know this. The Democrats know this. And most alarming, the political operatives know this. They also know what the internal polls say, which are inevitably worse for Democrats because such things aren't push polls done for public relations purposes.
What's a Democrat to do? We know the Democrats are determined. They are fighting.

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (KDVR) — Two boys not old enough to get a driver’s permit now face two charges of first-degree murder and arson in a fire that killed a mother and her young daughter on Oct. 31. Both suspects appeared for their first court hearing Monday afternoon from a WebEx virtual link at the Jefferson County courthouse, where their ages were revealed as 12 and 14. The two were arrested on Sunday. Because of the ages of the juvenile suspects, their names cannot be released under Colorado law. A defense motion to close the court hearing to the media was denied.

“I think the evidence is clear,” Clinton said with a smirk.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Monday that the recent attack on her husband Paul will impact her decision on whether to retire from Congress if Republicans take control of the House.
In a sit-down interview on CNN's "AC360," Pelosi told Anderson Cooper that her decision "will be affected about what happened the last week or two."
The Speaker's comments come after her husband was hit with a hammer last month by a man who broke into the couple's San Francisco residence. She was in Washington, D.C. when the attack happened.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Monday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that the Republican Party is “yielding to a cult” and a “thug” in former President Donald Trump.
Cooper said, “The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, others have spread stories casting doubt on what happened, fomenting conspiracy theories. What do you have to say to them?”
Pelosi said, “It’s really sad for the country that people of that high visibility would separate themselves from the facts and the truth in such a blatant way. It’s really sad, and it is traumatizing to those affected by it. They don’t care about that, obviously.
The Democrats and their media accomplices keep telling us the Republicans are the fascists and autocrats hungry for power. But just the opposite is true. The Democrats themselves made it clear during the pandemic that they are the party of authoritarianism.
In the spring of 2020, this country went into a lockdown. As Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute has noted, government officials canceled public worship services, segregated the large cities, abolished in-person education, foisted masks on all the kids, destroyed millions of businesses, and censored speech
Pennsylvania Democratic lieutenant governor John Fetterman’s U.S. Senate campaign filed a lawsuit Monday against state election officials, arguing that mail ballots with an incorrect or blank date should be counted in Tuesday’s election.
Plaintiffs have asked a federal judge to order all mail ballots to be counted regardless of the date voters pen on the envelope. The lawsuit comes a week after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that officials should set aside and not count mail ballots with an incorrect or empty date.
”The date [requirement] imposes unnecessary hurdles
On November 3, 2020, as election night rolled into election morning, Jill and Joseph Biden walked out alone on stage to stand before a crowd of brand-new Jeeps. “We feel good about where we are. We really do,” Joe Biden said to the occasional honk from the vehicles.
It was an odd scene on an odd election night—with Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania determined too close to call.
Just as oddsmakers and media pundits began tipping their hand—that somehow Trump had managed to pull it off again—network broadcasts announced, almost in unison, that states were largely done counting for the evening.
Pennsylvania voters were rushing to fix mistakes on their early ballots on Monday ahead of one of the nation's closest Senate races after the Supreme Court ruled inaccurate ballots would be thrown out.
Residents lined up in Philadelphia to correct errors in the move that also impacts Pittsburgh, two of the Keystone State's most populous areas that will be crucial in the final tallies.
They were taking in response to state Supreme Court orders in recent days that said mail-in ballots may not be counted if they lack accurate handwritten dates on the exterior envelopes.
President Joe Biden concluded his political rallies for the midterms at a historically black university in Maryland, telling students they were “just as smart” as other colleges in the United States.
Biden defended the “historic” $5.8 billion in funding he budgeted for HBCUs as president.
“HBCUs don’t have the endowments others have, but guess what, you’re just as smart, you’re just as bright, you’re just as good as any college in America,” Biden said.
“That money is to build laboratories and other things for the future that you need to have access to,” he added.
Biden’s comment recalls a number of racially insensitive comments he has made about black people.
Joe Biden’s delusional communications director told CNN viewers the Democrats are going to do well in Tuesday’s midterms because Biden is popular.
CNN anchor Jim Sciutto pointed out that historically a first midterm election for a US president is usually a wipeout.
Biden’s Comms Director Kate Bedingfield said while historically the House flips in a president’s first term, Biden’s agenda is enormously popular.
“Look, across the board what we’re seeing is enormous popularity for the Biden agenda,” Kate Bedingfield said.
81% of Americans are “dissatisfied” with the state of the economy according to the new left-leaning NBC poll.
This is the “second-highest number ever recorded,” NBC’s Chuck Todd said on Sunday.
This is Joe Biden’s America.
1 in 4 Americans will be skipping Thanksgiving this year due to high food prices thanks to Bidenflation.
According to a poll conducted by Personal Capital, 1 in 4 Americans are skipping Thanksgiving this year to save money.
1 in 3 Americans are hosting smaller Thanksgiving dinners and nearly 90% are cutting out at least one dish to save money.
Many Americans celebrating ‘Friendsgiving’ will be opting for a pizza instead of a traditional Thanksgiving turkey with fixings.
The budgets are tighter this year too. Many Americans will be spending less than $100 for their Thanksgiving food.
Should mail-in-votes that are undated or incorrectly dated be counted in Tuesday’s midterm elections? Common sense, state law, and a Pennsylvania court all say “no,” but Democrat Senate wannabe John Fetterman thinks otherwise and took his case to court Monday. Fetterman, who’s in a tight race (notice I didn’t say “neck and neck”) with Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, joined the Democrats’ U.S. House and Senate campaign arms and two Democratic voters to sue in a federal court in Pittsburgh, arguing that the handwritten date requirement is a burden and an attempt at voter suppression.
You can already see the jockeying for position for the “most somber take” award on the (hopefully) looming Democratic Election Day disaster. I read CNN’s pre-post-mortem (Is there such a thing?) and it’s a wallow. The headline is a snort in itself – every last drop of deep Democratic disappointment condensed into a sentence. Take a gander at this:
Democrats confront their nightmare scenario on election eve as economic concerns overshadow abortion and democracy worries
“Overshadow.” That’s it, right there in a nutshell.
Finally, the wait is over. There’s a little bit of NFL football to watch tonight and then it’s off to bed. When we all wake up, election day will be upon us. So where do things stand? Depending on who you ask, you’ll get a range of answers. Democrats are now convinced Nevada’s early voting totals mean they’ll pull the upset in the state’s senate race. Likewise, Republicans are confident that the late shift towards Mehmet Oz will deliver his senate race in Pennsylvania. All across the nation, there are conflicting projections ranging from a red wave to a Democrat shocker
Despite Rumors of a Big Announcement,
Trump Keeps the Focus on GOP Midterm Candidates
at Ohio Rally replies
Trump Keeps the Focus on GOP Midterm Candidates
at Ohio Rally replies
Though rumors swirled throughout the day Monday that Donald Trump would announce a 2024 presidential run at his Ohio rally — and during parts of his rally it sounded like he would — Trump ended the rally by highlighting the terrible state of the economy, civil liberties, military readiness, education, and more in the United States, then imploring voters across the country to get out to the polls Tuesday and vote for Republican candidates. On Monday morning, Daily Caller congressional correspondent Henry Rodgers tweeted that there was a 50/50 chance that Trump would announce a 2024 run Monday night.
It is truly a new era at Twitter! Yet another tweet from Joe Biden’s official presidential account has been fact-checked!
In a tweet posted Sunday, Biden used a more flattering metric on gas prices—a major issue of the 2022 midterm elections—and got slapped with a context fact-check. “Right now, the most common price at gas stations across the country is $3.19 per gallon,” Biden tweeted Sunday. “That’s progress.” It’s also grossly misleading because the average price is $3.80/gallon—a full 61 cents higher than the price Biden quoted, and context has been added to the tweet to differentiate between the most common price and the average.
Normalville, Pennsylvania — If there were a way to illustrate the beginning, middle, and end of this election cycle in four powerful moments, I’d start with the faces of the men and women working on the construction of the Keystone pipeline, and the owners of the small businesses who supported them, that I witnessed days after President Joe Biden terminated their livelihoods.
These are people who work with their hands in the harshest of weather conditions digging trenches, cleaning feeder pipes, laying concrete, ensuring the proper fittings on the connecting pipes, and loading and unloading heavy materials by hand. That's not including the faces of the people who run the motels,
