So looks like Gabe Vasquez won NM02 despite Grisham narrowly losing it..not sure whether it says more about Herrel being a weak incumbent or Vasquez being a strong candidate

Herrell was a weak candidate but also I think Ronchetti was a pretty strong candidate for the Republicans. He also put up a strong result for Senate in 2020.

He was a local news meteorologist. That's why he's strong.

What explains the 2020 overperformance though? Or did Trump just drag her across? I forget what his performance was there in '20

Pre-redistricting, her district was quite Republican. It was really an overperformance for the Democrats in 2018 that they won it (one of the most Republican districts to go Democratic in 2018 IIRC).

Something I didn't expect... McKee actually outperformed Raimondo's 2018 performance in RI in a much redder year.

Given what polling suggested about Rhode Island between the Governor's race and RI-2, when I saw Magaziner and McKee win by as much as they did as soon as they did on election night, that was one of several signs that there was no red wave.

One of my personal take aways from these midterms is that Dark Brandon is absolutely a real thing.

This proves that DeSantis won't beat BIDEN, and blue avatars just keep talking about how great DeSantis is he hasn't been scrutinized by Biden yet when Biden gets done with him he won't be Prez

Not sure if this was said yet but the House PV (R+3) is 7-8 points in Biden's favor vs his approvals, where 2018 (D+8) was largely on par with Trump's approvals

There were multiple members on this forum who absolutely would not believe this could happen even though many of us kept saying it would! Presidential approval is not necessarily tied to the HPV. 2018 was more of a direct result bc of how toxic Trump was.

You just have to laugh at the fact that Republicans had an R+9 party ID edge in Maricopa and still lost the county.

I mean, this isn’t entirely surprising. Despite the RINO comments (or because of them?), a large slice of folks actually have become RINOs here. In some parts, a Phoenix/Scottsdale Republican is like a West Virginia Democrat. Lol

Barnes losing kind of disproves this theory. And that might be good news for Cortez Masto. Next time around she can keep her hair.

Barnes lost because Equality marriage wasn't voted on until after Eday and Johnson voted against it just like Garcia and many Rs in NY would have lost if Equality marriage was passed before Eday like Sean Patrick Murphy is gay

Why do you think WARNOCK won he improved not with white men but soccer moms

They said Warnock  impoved in the suburbs around Atlanta that Abrams lost if there was Gov runoff Abrams would have won

Equality marriage affects females more than men it's more accepting to be gay as Female Sinema, Maddow

232 out of 252 Midterm Races WON who had my Endorsement, and the Fake News is working overtime to try and create the most negative narrative possible. No, the REAL reasons were other than Trump, and I can name them ALL!
