Warnock lost the white vote by 41 points, but won the black vote by 82...he dominated with every minority voting block
But Lindsey Graham told us that if Herschel Walker is a Republican a lot of blacks will become Republicans.
Is this what loyalty gets u? Former President Donald Trump decried Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and said he should be ousted as the head of the Senate Republicans. During an interview with Fox News published on Election Day, Trump described McConnell as a "lousy leader" and said the GOP needed new leadership in both chambers of Congress. "People are very upset with Mitch McConnell — I'll tell you who is upset with him — the public," the former president said. "I think we'll probably have to live with him for two years, and if I run and if I win, I will say, 'Don't send me any legislation if he's the leader,' and he'll be out in two minutes." "McConnell has been very bad for our nation," Trump continued. "He has been very bad for the Republican Party. I would be in favor of somebody else — McConnell has done a very bad job."
Trump must be seething today watching what's unfolding in between bites of his Big Mac...he is catching it from all angles
If I agree with that fat b*stard will someone give me a red hat? Cons think blacks vote as a single block, so Republicans getting 18% or 1 out of 5 black voters isn't that bad.
they didn't get 18%, they got 8%...Warnock got 90% of the black vote, Walker 8, and then some 3rd party got 2%
The last 20 hours... Edit: razor thin (2k votes) margin has D winning. Expect the Boebert Election BS to start in 3...2... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive...ons/results-colorado-us-house-district-3.html
You assume she won't caucus with the Democrats. It may sound crazy but Peltola winning only emboldens her in my opinion. The AK Dems aren't stupid and wouldn't fight it. Also even if she didn't leave, if its a 50-50 senate, she becomes the deciding vote on a lot of things. And you don't want to sour the relationship. No one thought Jim Jeffords would ever leave the Republicans until he finally left them. Because he doesn't work for them or care about the state party. McConnell is quite pragmatic in this regard. The AK State Party is run by a bunch of idiots. There's a reason why Dems are on the verge of running a bipartisan coalition in the state house and senate. The AK Republican leadership is run by nutjobs that are out of sync with the state. There's a reason why Democrats keep forming coalitions in the legislature with moderate Republicans and why Democrats formed a bipartisan ticket with an independent to win the governorship a few years ago. They punch above their weight because the AK Republican Party is dumb as dirt and thinks Alaska votes like Wyoming. Mary Peltola is going to outperform Murkowski this year for this reason. The state party sucks and voters there are some of the least partisan in the US. McConnell picked the correct choice this go around. Murkowski has way more institutional power than Tshibaka ever would and if Tshibaka keeps saying dumb things, Peltola could easily switch races and topple her. And a good portion of Republican politicians in Alaska would support her doing that because lots of Republicans there hate their state party as much as McConnell does.
Winners : DeSantis, Fetterman Losers: Trump, Beto, Abrams it was a mixed bag and interesting midterms …So far , as a moderate Republican/Libertarian . I think this is how it should be
So what are the chances of GA voting for Warnock in a run off? It seems good because it happened before, but this time around who knows maybe Republicans will be more mobilized to vote and get the Senate majority.
last time, Warnock and Ossoff won even more of the black vote in the runoff than they did in the November Senate elections...Stacey Abrams and other grass roots organizers are about to go to work to secure that seat infighting has already started between MAGA and what's left of the GOP
