One of the leading pro-life members of the United States Senate has won re-relection tonight. Senator Rand Paul easier cruised to victory over his Democrat opponent. Paul defeated Democrat Charles Booker and with 20% of the precincts reporting, Paul had 54% of the vote, while Booker had 46%. Paul of Kentucky says the morality of abortion is very clear: it’s wrong to kill an unborn baby because the child is a living human being. “I believe life begins at conception and that abortion takes the life of an innocent human being,” he told CNS News when asked. The conservative web...

Is anyone keeping score on the Trump backed candidates and how they’ve done tonight? Conversely, how have the candidates done that distance themselves from Donald Trump?

Democrat Josh Shapiro defeated far-right Republican Doug Mastriano in the Pennsylvania governor’s race on Tuesday, NBC News projected, providing Democrats with a significant victory in a contest where oversight of the 2024 election and abortion rights took center stage. Just after 10:30 p.m. ET, Shapiro held a lead of more than 13 points over Mastriano. Shapiro, the state attorney general, framed his opponent as an extremist and sought to make his campaign about protecting Pennsylvanians’ freedom to vote, to access abortion care and to unionize. Mastriano, a state senator who led the charge to try to overturn President Joe Biden’s...

Radical abortion advocate Val Demings spent $73 million to try to defeat pro-life Senator Marco Rubio but didn’t even come close as the Republican senator cruised to re-eletion. The Associated Press called the race shortly after 8 p.m., when polls closed in the Florida panhandle. Rubio criticized his Democrat opponent for supporting the killing of unborn babies in abortions “at any point” in pregnancy. Fox News reports Rubio, a Florida Republican with a strong pro-life record, said the abortion issue is a difficult one for many Americans, but he believes in “the right of an unborn, innocent human being to...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has won re-election, defeating pro-abortion Democratic candidate Charlie Crist. The pro-life governor, a potential 2024 GOP presidential contender, notched a quick election night win hat could become a springboard for a future White House run. “A big win in Florida is a huge proof point for DeSantis, a strong point for showcasing governing strength and electoral strength,” said David Kochel, a veteran Republican campaign adviser who hails from first-in-the-nation-caucus Iowa. “The fact DeSantis won by a hair in 2018 and now he’s blowing away Democrats sends a message.” During the election, DeSantis spoke about the value...

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has won re-election in Texas, defeating Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke. The pro-life governor defeated his pro-abortion challenge after a race where O’Rourke used abortion as the main issue of his campaign. Abbott was first elected in 2014 to the position that Republicans have held in the state since 1995. The Democrat’s top television ad attacked Abbott for protecting babies from abortion. O’Rourke, appearing to conserve his cash for later in the campaign, skipped running any biographical spots and made a light buy on Aug. 25 for an ad attacking Abbott-backed laws that virtually ban abortion in...

I've been watching the witty humor of these guys clowning around tonight and I had to snip a little bit of the fun. I'm naming this segment "Clowning with Crowder". Good times!

President Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats have convinced us that “democracy is on the ballot.” They sent out Biden twice to assure us that if extreme MAGA Republicans sweep the midterms, there might never be another election again. Polling found that Biden’s message wasn’t moving the needle at all with voters, who were more concerned with inflation and the economy. Still, progressives like Jonathan Chait wrote that “of course, democracy is on the ballot.” Fine, run with that message. Better yet, ridicule voters who are more concerned with the price of groceries than the future of our...

Pro-Life Brian Kemp has defeated radical abortion activist Stacey Abrams in the Georgia governor race. Kemp signed the state’s heartbeat law that is banning abortions and saving thousands of babies. With 72% of the vote tallied in the state, Kemp leads Abrams 53-46% and media outlets called the race for the governor in a rematch of the 2018 gubernatorial election. Abrams opted to focus on abortion and cultural issues in the final weeks of her campaign, telling Georgia voters that Kemp’s victory would threaten women and making false claims that the state’s abortion ban would deny women medical care. Abrams...

"I would be so thrilled if President Trump runs. And I would absolutely wholeheartedly support him," Kari Lake said.

Republicans are having a good, but not a great night. Some vulnerable House Dems survived. We take the House, but it will be tight. Senate... who knows. Georgia will go to a runoff. Desantis is the new star of the party. He took a swing state, turned Hispanics, and won by 20 points. Massive win. He is now firmly in Trump's sights and he will do whatever he can to cut Desantis down.
