..... Episodes like this may be one reason the red wave didn’t materialize, why Republicans failed to usher in a new dawn of prosperity for the multiracial working class that Republican leaders from Senator Ted Cruz to the House policy honcho Jim Banks say they want to champion. When it came down to it, the Republican Party offered ordinary American workers little that might have bolstered their power or leveled the economic playing field. That failure helped dash conservative hopes for a clean Republican sweep. Mutual recriminations will ping-pong around right-wing circles in the coming days and weeks. Most will...

Documentary filmmaker and activist Michael Moore thanked voters for creating a “Blue Wall” to stop Republicans from gaining control of the House and Senate during Tuesday’s midterm elections. “We were lied to for months by the pundits and pollsters and the media. Voters had not ‘moved on’ from the Supreme Court’s decision to debase and humiliate women by taking federal control over their reproductive organs. Crime was not at the forefront of the voters ‘simple’ minds. Neither was the price of milk,” Moore wrote on his Substack “Mike’s Midterm Tsunami of Truth.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Amid record discontent around the economy, inflation, and education, the Republican Party has narrowly managed to stave off what many thought would be a record-breaking red wave. "This was a close call," said one Republican leader in Washington. "We were worried that we would achieve massive victories tonight, but we thankfully snatched defeat from the jaws of victory to achieve a much more proper and sensible red trickle, like the proper gentlemen we are." Some Republicans achieved major victories, which were largely ignored by party leadership due to the fact that those Republicans were loud and icky...

A cloud hangs over Republicans. The election did not go as well as they thought. They expected the results nationwide to resemble the results in Florida, where Republicans walloped Democrats. Didn’t happen. Florida now seems to be as exceptional politically as it is culturally. Races across the country are much closer than expected. Many have yet to be called. Chances are that the House will flip to Republicans, and Senate control will depend on the outcome of Adam Laxalt’s race in Nevada and a probable December runoff between Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker in Georgia. It may be a month...

Futures and yields are flat, both recovering from a dip earlier in the session, as investors kept an eye on midterm election results ahead of key inflation data later in the week. To the disappointment of bulls, a Red Wave failed to emerge in Congress as voters delivered a mixed verdict in elections shaped by inflation and split around social issues, with Republicans headed toward control of the US House, but by smaller margins than forecast, while the Senate majority remains a toss-up.In the House, official results have Republicans on 196 and Democrats on 168. Projections from the New York...

Texas congressional candidate Wesley Hunt (R) believes the economy and inflation will lead to a “big red wave, particularly when it comes to Black and Brown people” this midterm season. Speaking to NBC’s Zinhle Essamuah on Sunday, Hunt said Black excellence is needed everywhere and that Black Republicans can bring change to the Black community. “At least we’re in the room to at least add some color, if you will,” said Hunt, who is favored to win his race in a new Texas district. A record 178 Black candidates are running this year as Republicans. Though Black voters make up...

In a throwback to 2020, ABC News reports that a “red mirage” could make it look like Republicans are winning big on the night, but that a full vote count could take “weeks.”The legacy news outlet has published an article titled ‘Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that’s OK)’.The piece explains how Republicans may “appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins” in federal and statewide races, but that their leads “will dwindle, or crumble completely” after “dumps” of mail-in and absentee ballots are counted after election day, which could take “weeks”.Why...

Originally, this piece was going to be something of a call to arms for my readers—for this Truth Community at large—to get out and vote in tomorrow’s absolutely essential Midterm Elections. Ultimately, I reconsidered. Not because that message isn’t important—and we will revisit it before the end—but because it would be too simple, condescending and, frankly insulting to this audience. Of course you know you need to get out and vote tomorrow and, as I explored in detail in my last special feature, ‘Lay of the Land,’ you also know that voting is of the utmost importance even IF the...

Washington State Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tiffany Smiley has taken the lead over 30-year incumbent Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), according to polling.

Michigan voters are accustomed to getting election results on election night but that won't be the case this Tuesday night. It may be 24 hours after the polls close that we will know who won in some key races and this could create another debate over who really won. "I am really worried about what is going to happen on election night," said Richard Czuba. Czuba, a Michigan pollster, with Glengariff, is not alone. The person in charge of running a smooth, fair, and accurate election is worried as well - on two fronts. First, about potential distractions in and...

CNN, ABC and NBC panelists offered up their final midterm predictions during the Sunday news shows and painted a grim picture for the Democratic Party ahead of election day. CNN's David Chailan said Democrats were looking for a "cushion" in Pennsylvania. "They are looking for a place to pad their majority a bit and try to offset potential losses elsewhere. This is why the Senate right now is the thing Democrats are looking at as a potential saving grace on Tuesday night. It is bleak looking for the House because of what you said, this is an economy election and...

Depending on which polls you look at, the Democrats are almost certain to lose the House tomorrow and might even lose control over the U.S. Senate: <@InteractivePoll tweet projecting huge Red Wave tomorrow> Sensing a midterm disaster (and a loss of power), Speaker Pelosi is resorting to a tactic that’s also been adopted by the Biden administration: Gaslighting like crazy. Who are you going to believe, your lying bank account, gas & grocery bills, or Nancy Pelosi: Oh please. And of course the Democrats have no interest in power (cue massive eye roll). Pelosi is funny, just not “ha ha”...

Throughout the autumn, as Election Day approached, many of us found ourselves asking the question: But what happens if we win? Every political campaign – of either party, of any ideology – focuses on the full range of issues. Tax cuts vs. tax hikes. Overspending vs. responsibility. Hedonism vs. ethics. A strong defense vs. a projection of weakness. But after the election, we have to come down to earth, and acknowledge that no one person – no single individual – can make the entire government do a 180. When one side wins both the presidency and majorities in both houses...
