In your typical midterm election with an unpopular Democratic president, you’d expect Republicans to be flying high. But the evidence is mounting that the national political environment right now actually leans toward Democrats.
On Tuesday, Democrat Pat Ryan defeated Republican Marc Molinaro in a special election for New York’s swingy 19th Congressional District by 2 percentage points, 51 percent to 49 percent.1 At the same time, Republican Joe Sempolinski defeated Democrat Max Della Pia by a closer-than-expected margin of 7 points in the special election for New York’s solid-red 23rd District. On their own, these elections could be dismissed as flukes, chalked up to local factors or particularly strong or weak candidates. But given how these two elections are part of a larger pattern of good results for Democrats over the last two months, they suddenly look a lot more like signal than noise.

I guess they forgot about Liz’s 37% shellacking.
Whatever happens in NY means absolutely nothing
How many unattributable mail-in ballots were received in any of these elections?
Like Delta Tau Chi’s midterm grades. Hope springs eternal.
They keep pointing to NY 19 with no clue of what happened or no care for what happened.
But let them continue in their misbelief.
These folks are rarely right about an election, but they are also probably plugged into the Dem machine. I don’t doubt that there will be some shenanigans going on with this election. These polls/prognostications are laying the groundwork for the Dems retaining Congress via hook and/or crook.
I remember a time when branDUHn had nearly ZERO chance of winning. Now we know why they didn’t bother to campaign much. Because they knew the outcome. More votes than obxxx? Uh, okay....... Don’t underestimate their abilities. 🙅
Sheesh the rats get one semi-surprise special election win in NY so now they are keeping both houses.
They better give John Fetterman his bong back.
Anyone who votes DemoRat deserves every ounce of the rotten putrid consequences from it. It is said that people choose their way into hell. Must be something to that.
There is extremely low turnout for elections to fill open congressional seats for only a few months until the general election, when the seats will be up for election again.
Wait! You must consider the mindset of the typical ‘Progressive’. They will suffer gladly for their agenda even if their policies are destructive. They only hope it hurts their ‘enemy’ (Republicans) more than it hurts them.
No job? Utilities unaffordable? Food shortages? Well, at least I can get an abortion.
As for us, my German mother said, ‘success is the best revenge’.
(breathlessly) Did you know that every single election in the USA will go to the Democrats in 2022?
Well, then they won’t need all those illegal votes, ballot harvesting, and USPS dump drivers now.
You gotta hand it to the left, even In massive defeat, they still try to sound positive. At this point,,all they can do is keep on ankle biting.
Yep, all based on one race. New York’s 19th District.
Indeed wishful hoping causes it.
If I were the dems, I wouldn’t even bother campaigning. It is in the bag for them. Happy Days are here again!!!
