Another bit of good news. That election denying yahoo from AZ trying for Sec of State is losing. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-elections/arizona-secretary-of-state-results Dude is on camera saying he would literally refuse to certify any election won by a Democrat.
What's embarrassing is that Truman won WWII but lost congress in the midterms. Yet, Biden with all of his visible issues may not lose either house of congress, and even if he does, it isn't decided, yet. The spin seems to be coming from you.
If it's still too close to call, it could be a few days + shenanigans ... NV Voters has 7 days after the election to "cure" missing / mismatched signatures.
Can someone explain to me again why losing the House, but only by a few seats, is not still a big problem for Democrats? There appears to be the sense of a huge relief. Is it that they need more than a majority to do some of the stuff that Democrats were fearing they'd try to do?
fwiw this seems like a pretty strained comparison. For one thing, I think most Americans believed FDR won WWII--Truman just happened to be there at the end (atomic bomb notwithstanding). Second, the Democratic Party had controlled both houses of Congress since 1932: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1946_United_States_elections I think Truman could have been the second coming of Christ incarnate and the Democrats still would have fared poorly. And the economic policies Truman was forced to pursue just after the war weren't popular. But that would have been the case for anyone in sitting in the President's chair.
But it's normal for the President's party to lose seats in the midterm. It is fair to compare the different presidents and how they faired in the midterms. It is especially worth looking at after all of the premature gloating from anti-Democrats and the lectures about what issues Democrats should have focused to prevent the upcoming losses which ended up not happening in the ways about which the anti-Dems were bragging.
There is a ton on infighting within the House GOP. McCarthy was touting a 30 member advantage. This would have assured him the Speaker position. Now? Not so much. The House GOP is going to be like the Game of Thrones. Also, it is easier to switch 3 or 4 votes to your side than it is 30.
what are the historical consequences in the next cycle of premature e-jocularity in the current cycle?
Bad news on Nevada. Doesn’t seem like enough mail votes left. Republicans likely to hold on to lead
I'm not saying he won't. I am saying it will be more of a battle. If they really want to **** with people, they can always make Trump the Speaker
the house is going to be rough for democrats in future elections. Democratic states tend to block absurd gerrymandering which allows Rs to still get seats there while Republicans state courts allow absolute ridiculousness. R states are going to totally block out any D representation
If New York and California did what Florida did there would be a democratic majority for the next two years
