Kentucky governor: Andrew Beshear(D) has won re-election. Daniel Cameron couldn't win against Beshear in a solid red state. Cameron ran a mediocre campaign that solely focused on his Trump endorsement.
Republicans still managed to win all of the downballot offices: SOS, AG, Treasurer and Agriculture commissioner.
The sad truth is that we probably shouldn't run a Black man as the GOP candidate in a southern state like Kentucky.
Ohio: Dems have won yet another abortion referendum in a red state. GOP needs to stop fucking having these referendums. Clear that abortion is sadly popular nationwide. Abortion is clearly a losing issue for Republicans.
Virginia Legislature: The Dems have kept the State Senate denying Governor Youngkin and the Republicans a tri-fecta.
Pretty terrible night for Republicans all around.
True, but the pundit I listened to this morning was also blaming "messaging."
I hate to say it, it's not them messaging, abortion restriction are a loser almost everywhere. End of story.
If Republicans want to get control of the issue they need a clear policy at the state and national level (not national LAWS, but the agreement within the party). That's not going to happen. Repubs depend too much on religious absolutists on the abortion issue.
