At the beginning of this year’s midterm campaign, analysts and political operatives had every reason to expect a strong Republican showing this November. President Biden’s approval rating was in the low 40s, and the president’s party has a long history of struggling in midterm elections.
But as the start of the general election campaign nears, it’s becoming increasingly hard to find any concrete signs of Republican strength.
Tuesday’s strong Democratic showing in a special congressional election in New York’s 19th District is only the latest example. On paper, this classic battleground district in the Hudson Valley and Catskills is exactly where the Republicans would be expected to flip a seat in a so-called wave election. But the Democrat Pat Ryan prevailed over a strong Republican nominee, Marc Molinaro, by around two percentage points, outperforming Mr. Biden’s narrow win in the district two years ago.

When I saw the source I decided to not read deep state propaganda.
They also scheduled the special election on a day when the Dems had a primary and the Reps did not. So it wasn’t exactly a fair playing field for turnout.
Mitch and the rest of the REPUBLICANS better START DOING some GREAT THINGS!
“Am I missing anything?”
Drug deaths way UP due to open borders.

Ten weeks until the election. Now is the time to start setting the narrative to support their steal. Watch the GOP sit down and take it.
Gaslighting. Pure unadulterated gaslighting.

NYT — “whistling past the grave yard.”
87,000 armed IRS goons, 5 million illegals, holding schools hostage if they don’t let boys into the girls locker rooms and showers. Just 3 items that should be in daily TV ads but nothing is what we get.

So I guess Republicans turning out at about twice the numbers or more of Democrats in the primaries isn’t evidence huh?
Oh wait! Its time for some Democrat push polls to claim they’re not going to have their butts handed to them. Just mix that in with the usual spin about “wins” and “momentum” for getting a wasteful spending bill that does nothing to help people struggling with sky high inflation and viola! The perfect recipe for whistling past the graveyard....at least until November.
