Official 2022 Congressional Election Results Thread

[😥]

By the way, if Democrats indeed fall short of a single seat, you could also blame Charlie Crist instead of New York Democrats. He threw away a swing district in Florida for a vanity run that he could never win. Should have remained in the House and let some other sacraficial lamb lose to DeSandwich.

On the other hand, Andy Levin also could be blamed for running against fellow Democrat in super-safe district instead of running for a swing MI-10, which he would probably won

Nepotism wins? Or did Cuban-Americans just like Trump and reverted back to the mean?

[Pres Mike]

Well, Biden will win primary very easily if he decides to run (very, very likely). He is effective leader for Democrats, relatively popular with base and relatively unpolarizating figure. There is no reason for him not to run (except health issues), and there is no reason for the base to reject him

Biden isn't that popular with the base... when compared to other Dems (he is popular compared to a Republican opponent).

He's not even winning the latest NH primary poll- I think he only has like 16% support... Buttigieg has 17% support and 4 or 5 others are spread out between Biden & Harris (who is 6th or 7th with single digit support).

And this will only continue to grow- bc the almost universal reason Dems give for not wanting him to run- is his age...  and he will be even older 2 years from now.

If Biden announces he’ll run for reelection, he’ll run unopposed. And his support from the party will rise dramatically, just like it did once he became the nominee in 2020.

Wasn’t there chatter among democrats back in 2011 for Hillary to replace Obama after his shellacking?

And realistically, who else would Democrats run? Harris and Buttigieg would lose in landslides. The country isn’t going to elect a gay man or a black women.

God help us all if Hobbs wins by something like 0.3%. Lake is gonna explode.

You know what? F ck her.

How about Tom Suozzi making a suicide run for governor against Hochul in the primary?  Maybe he would have held NY-03.

Same goes for Kathleen Rice in NY-04.  Heck even Ron Kind probably would have held WI-03 given how close the actually race was as an open seat.

[BlueSwan]

If Biden announces he’ll run for reelection, he’ll run unopposed.

Probably yes, or just with token opposition.

But I still hope that he decides against running.

I think the country could be open to a gay man. Just not Buttigieg. My reasoning for it is that Polis had been the top vote getter two times a row in the past two Colorado midterms, and while Colorado is obviously blue, he’s still a proven winner even in some Trump-curious areas.

Even worse, James is now the governor in waiting in 2026.

While I do think Biden wants a second term, I think he would gladly step aside if there was a prominent Democrat who could win.

But she said Ron DeSantis has BDE (Big D**k Energy) before... lmao.

Lake being a size queen is not mutually exclusive with her being a backbiting narcissist.

Not that its a very Bold prediction- But Wes Moore is highly likely to be a Dem Rock Star- and the Pres Nominee in 2028 or 2032. If he has a really successful 1st year- there could even be an outside chance that he is tapped to be the 2024 VP nominee (depending on the nominee... which Imo will def not be Biden).

The country is def open to someone who is gay and frankly doesn’t care. But probably more “flamboyant” or “submissive” gay man.

Neither Polis or Buttigieg made it the centerpiece of their campaign, and they don’t come across as “stereotypically” gay if that makes sense.

Colorado is a very white state

Any gay man would lose a lot of black support in places like Detroit, Milwaukee and Philadelphia.

Of course, he wouldn’t win the primary either. African Americans aged 40+ basically pick the nominee and they are the most social conservative members of the Democratic Party. The media did everything they could to make Buttigieg the nominee yet went absolutely no where on Super Tuesday

America is still too prejudiced to vote for a twink unfortunately. However, with the overperformances of Polis and Fetterman, I think a bear would be formidable.

[DaleCooper]

Apparently there's some drama and confusion surrounding the number of uncounted ballots in Clark County. Their spokesperson said 50k but that's much smaller than what people thought they had. Tough to know how to interpret that, and no recent updates from Washoe.

Definitely one of the posts of all time.

Again don’t mean this to come off in a bad way to anyone, just to truth. Idk what the right word is.
