As and outsider (Canadian) who is fairly ignorant of state races, I wonder how Democrats win Senate seats in Red States?
Among many other reasons. Some voters split their votes
Missouri is Blue Dog Democrat country. Claire won last time, becasue Dems crossed over and helped get a marginal Repub candidate on the ballot. He then made several comments that put huge holes in his feet. The topper, though, was the GOPe Washington Mafia doing everything they could to tank the GOP candidate’s campaign. All the usual suspects ran to the microphones to denounce him and basically handed the election to the Auntie Claire and her liberal friends.
