Elections up and down the ballot in 2021 have strongly indicated there is going to be a red wave next year.
Republican Daniel Rickenmann won the runoff mayoral race in Columbia, South Carolina, with 52 percent of the vote, according to The State news outlet on Wednesday. FINAL: @Rickenmann will be the 37th mayor of Columbia, South Carolina. pic.twitter.com/1DGm09mVRn — Chris Trainor (@ChrisTrainorSC) November 17, 2021 “It was an incredible thing,” Rickenmann said during his victory speech, WLTX-TV reported. “Everyone who supported us. It’s about one Columbia. We are not divided; we are united!”
The election results will be certified Thursday by the city’s election commission, according to The State.
Councilwoman Tameika Isaac Devine ran against Rickenmann and will be replaced by another Democrat , Aditi Bussells, on the city council.
“I am so proud of the race that we ran,” Devine told WLTX. “Our vision of a more inclusive and equitable Columbia may be delayed, but it is not gone.”

NOTE:
Rickenmann’s victory might seem like it’s no big deal, but the recent political past of the region is worth noting. Columbia is the capital of South Carolina and the largest city in Richland County, which voted for Joe Biden for president with 68.4 percent of the tallies in the 2020 election, according to Politico.
Even more shocking is that Columbia is in a congressional district where Democrats have a 17 percent party registration advantage, and Biden surrogate Jim Clyburn is their representative.
The mayoral seat currently is held by Democrat Steve Benjamin, who has served in the office for 11 years.
Rickenmann ran his campaign with public safety being his “top priority,” his website states, which likely is what put him over the top.
"voted"
It’s beginning to look like the only way for Trump to lose next time around is for him to blow it.
Or Deep State to steal it.
Again.
How much of Biden’s 68% was fraud?
Sure it did.
This is a great sign. It shows there is still life in the system. It also shows some people are waking up. They are awake, not “woke.”
Which he may do based on all of the screwed up picks he made in the government. If he does run he cannot trust anyone and he has to separate himself from the lunatics as well.
I’ll never believe that number.
Too many Trump signs and the like around Columbia then.
No doubt the local news types are wringing their collective hands. I don’t watch any of them.
It would seem that a lot of voters in Columbia, SC decided that not voting was a stupid idea.

I'm sure Mitch will want Reince back in there to "assist"...
Not surprising, less cheating equals fairer elections. Without looking, I would bet Biden beat Obama numbers in the heavily black areas.
Who believes any election data with respect to Biden? I suspect the current results are more realistic about what really occurred in 2020.
right. a 20% swing in local politics from last year.
“The County Voted 68% Biden in 2020”
Prove it with a forensic audit.
This can’t be right. Certain Freepers have been telling us for a year that Republicans will never win another election.
“Or Deep State to steal it.”
I think if Trump lessens his big negative, he’ll win by a margin that vote counting fraud can’t overcome.
