Personally, I think the Republican comeback is partly due to these “progressive” candidates finally being looked at by the voters (now that summer is over). In Kentucky CD-6, the Democrats are running an abject leftist loon, Amy McGrath. Sure, she was a Marine Corps pilot. And she went around Kentucky telling everyone how centrist she is. Now, the voters are seeing ads about how she was up in Massachusetts calling herself the “most progressive person in Kentucky” and “You’re damn right I’m a feminist.” There’s a reason why the progressives have to hide their beliefs outside of pockets on the coasts....
Thanks, LS. Sounds like this may be an exciting election night, atypical of midterms.
If true, said person will lead a very lonely life; no cocktail party invites, and massive abuse from the rat masters.
It looks like KS3 will be a loss. Polls are stale, but a new one will be out in a few days. KS2 could go either way, Watkins (R) is a rookie and making rookie mistakes. Otherwise, he would be an easy win.
If Trump held a rally in Fresno or Bakersfield in support of House candidates like Elizabeth Heng (CA-16), Kevin McCarthy* (CA-23), Devon Nunes* (CA-22), and David Valadao* (CA-21), he would certainly boost the chances of Heng flipping Democrat Jim Costa's district, while giving the farmers of the central valley something to rally about.
The CA-16 seems to be the only D district surrounded by R's in the central valley.
