Why did Republicans do so well in state legislatures? Financing? Are the Democrats really that bad at messaging? Curious to hear what you all think.
Surely - not financing, as Democratic candidates outraised Republican in many races, that were considered competitive (but, at least some - turned not..).
Is this true? My impression is that Republicans were heavily outraised in the US Senate but that grassroots funding didn't really take off at the state representative level while the same organisations that have been backing Republicans and Democrats in them continued to dole out the cash (and Republicans had an advantage with these groups). I'm not too sure about this, tbf.
