Interesting Georgia results, Republicans from Kemp on down swept all statewide elections by an average of 8 points. But Walker, Trump chosen is basically tied with Warnock. Probably pending a 6 Dec runoff. NH, R Sununu won the governorship by 16 points, Trump chosen R Bolduc lost the senate race by 8 Points. OH R DeWine won the governorship by 15 points, Trump chosen R Vance won, but only by 6 points. Both Trump chosen candidates lost in PA. It looks like both of Trump’s chosen candidates for governor and senator will lose in AZ.
All indicating Trump has been a factor, a big negative factor for the Republicans. I have no doubt that better quality candidates could have won in those states if not for Trump. If the Democrats can hold on to the senate, they have Trump to thank for that.
The official count now for the senate is Republicans 49, WI has been called for R Johnson, Democrats 48 with AZ, NV and GA still outstanding. The house is now at 203 Republican, 176 Democratic with 56 seats still in play. The Republicans have flipped 11 seats, the Democrats 4.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
