Republicans See Gains In Midterms, But ‘Red Wave’ Hopes Fade As Democrats Outperform

Via ZeroHedge

Republican candidates have managed to push ahead of Democrats in the midterms, but the predicted red wave appears to have turned out to be little more than a ripple…

As of the time of writing, Petr Svab reports at The Epoch Times that the GOP is still on track to take over the House of Representatives but may eke out only a razor-thin majority.

In the Senate, the balance of power is likely to remain unchanged with Democrats on an easier path to shore in at least 50 seats with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaker to keep them in control.

Republicans recorded the most striking success in Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis fortified his mandate, swiping nearly 60 percent of the vote, up from less than 50 percent in 2018, when he secured victory by 0.4 percent.

“We made promises to the people of Florida and we have delivered on those promises. And so today, after four years, the people have delivered their verdict. Freedom is here to stay,” DeSantis said in his victory speech to a roaring crowd of supporters at the Tampa Convention Center on Nov. 8.

The governor contrasted conditions in the Sunshine State with that of the other parts of the country under Democratic control.

“We set out a vision we executed on that vision. And we produced historic results and the people of this state have responded in record fashion,” he said.

“Now, while our country flounders due to failed leadership in Washington, Florida is on the right track.”

Democrats were only able to defend eight House seats in Florida, compared to 11 two years ago.

In Ohio, JD Vance beat Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) for an open U.S. Senate seat. “I am overwhelmed with gratitude,” Vance told supporters in Columbus. “I cannot express possibly in words how grateful I am.”

“We need better leadership in Washington, D.C., and that’s exactly what I promise to fight for every single day,” he added.

In the rest of the country, however, it was largely Democrats overperforming.

Democrat Josh Shapiro defeated Republican Doug Mastriano by more than 11 points in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race.

Shapiro’s four-year term will lengthen Democrat rule in the executive office to 12 years. Current Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf is completing his second term. Eight years is the limit in Pennsylvania.

Shapiro, who is currently state Attorney General, will likely keep many of the policies Wolf has championed such as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a cap-and-trade program that consumers are starting to notice through their higher energy bills.

Democrats have also flipped governorships in Maryland and Massachusetts, though both states generally lean blue, making those seats ripe for an upset.

In Arizona, Republican Kari Lake is still holding on to the hope of closing the 11-point gap between her and Democrat Katie Hobbs as much of the vote remains to be counted.

With the race too close to call, Lake took the stage at 10 p.m. and told watch partygoers that she was ready to “fight to win,” and, even if it takes hours or days, she’s confident about her chances. She also said her campaign is getting results that in-person voting favored her.

In a bitter fight to the end, Hobbs and Lake blasted each other on the campaign trail and courted Arizona voters until Election Day. They also ran on wholly opposite views on how best to govern Arizona.

Democrat Governors of Kansas and Wisconsin, Laura Kelly and Tony Evers, have managed to keep their seats, but by less than 3 percentage points. Some votes in those states still remain to be counted.

In the Senate races, the closely watched contest in Pennsylvania has been called by the Associated Press for Democrat John Fetterman, though Republican Mehmet Oz hasn’t conceded. Due to several election rule controversies in the state, the results may still get challenged in court.

In a victory speech before a cheering crowd in Pittsburgh, Fetterman repeated his campaign slogan:

“Every county, every vote.”

Then he said:

“That’s exactly what happened. We jammed them up. We held the line. I never expected that we were going to turn these red counties blue, but we did what we needed.”

Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May, appeared animated and delivered his victory speech smoothly.

Behind the scenes, a number of vote-counting issues could threaten to tie up the final, official results of the election.

On Election Eve, Fetterman’s campaign filed a federal lawsuit seeking to force officials to count mail-in ballots with improper or missing dates. And on Election Day, officials in Philadelphia made an emergency change to a vote-counting process—a move they said they felt forced to make even though it could delay vote tallies by several days.

Final, unofficial vote tallies are not due until Nov. 15, and final certified results are to be filed by Nov. 28, Acting Secretary of the Commonwealth, Leigh Chapman, told reporters on Election Night.

The Georgia race between Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Hershel Walker remains too close to call and is likely to head for a December runoff.

As of press time, Warnack has picked up about 1.94 million votes, or 49.4 percent, compared to Walker’s roughly 1.90 million votes, or 48.5 percent, according to Decision Desk HQ. About 98 percent of the votes in Georgia have been counted.

Warnock has remained confident about winning the race. Writing on Twitter at around 3:45 p.m. ET, he said he will have more votes than his opponent.

“And whether we need to work all night, through tomorrow, or for four more weeks, we will do what we need to and bring this home,” Warnock wrote.

On Tuesday night, Walker asked supporters to “hang in there a little bit longer.”

“I’m telling you right now, I am like Ricky Bobby, I don’t come to lose,” Walker said.

If neither Walker nor Warnock surpasses the 50 percent threshold, they will head the Dec. 6 runoff.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) holds on to a nearly 17-point lead over his Republican challenger Blake Masters.

Republican challenger Adam Laxalt has taken a considerable lead over Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) with 72 percent counted, at 0700ET.

In Wisconsin, Sen. Ron Johnson may just barely save the seat for Republicans with Democrat Mandela Barnes pulling within about 1.5 points.

“We’ve looked very closely at the numbers,” Johnson said. “We feel very confident that there’s no way that they can really make up that gap.

“But I’m not going to declare victory until all the numbers are in, but I just want to give you guys a sense that this race is over.”

In the House, Republicans have so far flipped nine seats and Democrats flipped three. Republicans are projected to squeeze out around 226 seats, securing them a slight majority.

Republican Thomas Kean Jr. was able to flip the 7th District of New Jersey, which used to be solidly red, but was won for Democrats in 2018 by Rep. Tom Malinowski.

On the other hand, Republican firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert could lose her seat in Colorado’s 3rd District to Democrat Adam Frisch.

The bottom line is Republican hopes for a wide House majority were dashed as Democrats held more seats than expected and even flipped a few Republican ones.

Votes are still being counted early Wednesday morning, but current totals indicate that House Republicans will control the chamber by a slim margin, making it more difficult to govern and giving small groups of lawmakers out-sized power.

The race for control of the Senate could very well come down to a Dec. 6 runoff in Georgia.

Democrats picked up a Senate seat in Pennsylvania, and Republicans have a strong chance of flipping a seat in Nevada. Early returns suggest Democrats could keep a seat they have in Arizona and Republicans retain a seat they now have in Wisconsin.

The so-called MAGA Republicans, backed by Trump, did not fare as well as expected.

From the market’s perspective, this means gridlock – just as it wanted:

“It is clear that any Republican majority is likely to be extremely narrow. From a market perspective, that would certainly be attractive,” said DWS Global Chief Investment Officer Bjoern Jesch.

“On the one hand, this would remove corporate tax increases or other spending packages that would have threatened both houses if the Democrats marched through. On the other hand, the Republicans would probably be too divided to set their own strong accents in legislation.”

Thank you for pointing out that you are a socialist mental defect with a nonfunctioning brain like Fetterman, proving beyond all doubt that socialism really is a mental disease in need of 480 volt 200 amp 3-phase therapy applied for several minutes per hour.

Socialist mental defects have to always project onto others what they have done, are doing, or are going to do.

The democrats probably do have the support of the majority of the Blacks, illegals, Youth, Jews, White women, and Perverts but I don’t think it is the majority of Americans; the deciding factor in the 2020 and 2022 elections was illegal ballots. States that made a strong effort to clean up vote fraud like Florida reflect the pre-election polls and are Red . Whereas there are Blue states like Pennsylvania that have results that vary widely from the pre-election polls and there is one obvious explanation: Big Blue Cities run crooked Vote Fraud Machines that steal the democratic Rights of the rest of Americans. Some pre-election estimates based on polls had republicans gaining as many as 75 Federal House seats and 11 Senate seats. Clearly the majority of Americans do not support FJB and the democrat destructive Green Policies, Inflation, the Ukraine War & hostile Foreign Policies, Censorship, CV-19 Genocide, Sanctions; expanding Welfare, Debt, and Social Liberalism, etc. The 2022 election was the same injustice as the 2020 election. American will continue on a fascist totalitarian self destructive course until we have a honest democratic voting system in every state.

let me tell you what i had to do to let my mom vote over the weekend–the same day stucky’s mom fell& broke her leg my mom fell & broke her hip–she is in a rehab center & wanted to vote–
on friday i had to go to the supervisor of elections office & pick up a request for a mail in ballot, which i took to her –she had to sign & i had to bring it back & sign,along with showing a drivers license —
after they verified her info & my info they gave me a ballot & a return envelope to return it in,which had to be signed by her on the back after the ballot was sealed inside the envelope–when the ballot is counted the signature can be matched w/what is on file —
since it was already friday i returned the sealed ballot to the soe office instead of mailing it but it was a pain to get that one vote cast —

I had hoped and prayed that Voters could elect Republicans to be in charge of the Senate and House, then they could methodically hold hearings and trials to correct the many political problems. Democrat Vote Fraud has closed the door on that option in 2022 and undoubtably 2024. Democrats are unConstitutionally attacking Conservatives like Communist in order to “liquidate” their opposition.

The democrats have control of all methods of voter fraud, ballot stuffing, waking the dead to vote, letting anything with a pulse vote, miscounting votes, losing votes and discovering just enough votes to turn the tide 49/51 from now til the end of time.

Massive amounts of repeat voting by pets and cemetery dwellers inside the socialist containment areas.

Keep in mind that socialist created and enabled street criminals get paid with free food stolen from the taxpayers every time the criminals go in and vote. The socialist machine will even provide free transportation to the voting locations and then return the criminals to their base of crime, all at taxpayer expense.

I think the SCOTUS gave women the Right to murder a baby in the womb via medical doctors about 50 years ago; and then last year the SCOTUS said the 10th Amend applied to the issue of Abortion after 6 weeks (ie, baby murder was legal up to six weeks but after 6 weeks it was a state issue). After that SCOTUS decision, I think some states made baby murder illegal from conception; some made abortion legal from conception to delivery (the democrat position); some don’t allow abortions for rape, incest or the mother’s health; and a new round of legal fights have begun; some states had abortion related state constitution amendments on their ballot this 8Nov election.

I’m going to take a page out of the Liberal Playbook, just for giggles. Not all cunts are women.

There are always exceptions to the rule of averages, but, I think honest people will generally agree that women tend to let their emotions take a larger role in their decision making process than does the typical red-blooded American male.

My very own mother is one of the top-rated medical professionals in her specialty. She is one of the very first woman doctors to use tele-medicine, two decades ago. I am not anti-woman.

My paternal grandmother was an awesome matriarch… who stayed in the traditional role as mother. Our extended family of 19 cousins, 4 aunts and uncles, “died” when she passed away.

In my experience, many females are too damned quick to “Cancel Culture” men when their liberal ideology gets slaughtered in an intelligent debate; they are liberal pampered snowflakes who will melt and die when TSHTF. PS: Make-up, clothes, bling, perfume, tats, surgery, etc, can’t overcome a poor attitude.

Speaking of “quick to judge,” I met a bright young woman who had passion and enthusiasm about a business idea we were both discussing. We agreed to meet in one week’s time. When it came time for our meeting, she didn’t even bother to explain why she suddenly decided to block my cell phone. Her loss. Following through on that idea on my own has resulted in the opening of more opportunities than I have ever had in my life. Some people simply don’t want to take any chances whatsoever. Poor attitudes can stifle so much more than social interaction.

Sheeple are too braindead and trained as circus seals to think for themselves. The few who can see reality for what it is know the sheeple will always do as they are told. If the socialist elite controlled fake news tells the sheeple to drink bleach, 100% of the sheeple would gladly comply and many would go ape-shit on anyone who tried to stop them.

I was worried that the narrow margin the Republicans appeared to have in the last polls before election day wasn’t enough to overcome cheating by the Democrats. The cheating must’ve been massive in states like Pennsylvania where a retarded commie supposedly won. And how can Kari Lake be behind that cheating, despicable coward, Hobbs? It’s not possible in a fair system.

I feel for everyday Americans. I’m pissed as hell, and I’m not American. I loathe injustice, and I hate that the cheaters get away with such brazen theft.

We can’t win by voting; that is clear. Too much corruption and too many stupid leftist voters. Our potential salvation may be a combination of total economic collapse from years of insane policies and the inevitable Russian win over Ukraine. These events would deprive the evil cabal of the financial and political means to keep screwing us . . . assuming they don’t launch WW III to avoid payback from their own people.

No show Hobbs.

I’m not pissed. I’m not surprised either, really. We all knew that cheating,lying and all matters of “full court press” would be employed. The insanity of the public at large will not abate, there is no indication that can be seen that there is any improvement forthcoming. Fedderman’s election should be an obvious testament of that fact.
So what now?
Secession of a form? If so would it be a secession that includes a geographic domain, if so where would it be? Is it possible that secession can be possible for small individual and larger groups, yet are dispersed? Would it be libertarian in nature, personally I doubt that. Would it be of a christian nationalist character? I don’t know. But, I doubt all of those scenarios.
Is there a Galt’s gulch? I doubt that as well. Doug Casey, the schadenfreude, sure doesn’t have a solution, he just wants to milk you (like a cow). What country would be available? Where is a blank slate? Nowhere that I have seen and I have looked at many. Sorry, but Oz ain’t for me, mate.
My guess is that this will result in an existence in the “US” (“united”, is a laugh) of abject obeisance by the inhabitants. Most of the common-man and especially the “Woke”, will never acknowledge their massive self-formed chains. They are truly blind. Satan is their true lord and master.
God tells us the be salt. I am imperfect, so I suppose that as close as I have made it so far, is that I’m just salty.
Ultimately, my guess is the Holodomor will be repeated, or, at least it will rhyme. After all, it was so successful under the “Learned Elders” of times past. There will be a necessity for the new Ardennes Mass-acres, featuring the massive open pits of everlasting repose and dispose.
I dislike wearing the robe dourness, but I just do not see a path of reason, intelligence, competence or industriousness ahead for the Platformers and others of like minds. But I do believe that There Will Be Blood.
May the odds be ever in our favor.

I see everyone on the right fighting about Trump vs DeSantis for 2024 and I just laugh to myself. The presidency in 2024 is a pipe dream, with DeSantis or Trump on the ticket. To be frank I don’t know if we’ll ever see a Republican president again. Millions and millions of illegals pouring over our border and being distributed to key swing states. An electorate trained to believe that hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots appearing is normal. Demographics is destiny. He who controls the machines controls the outcome. We didn’t fix 2020 and we didn’t build the wall so don’t expect another “free and fair” election.

This one failed yet it never ceases to amaze how easily propositions on Texas state ballots pass. This was a local deal not state wide. Still, never ceases to amaze how easily people give their money away.

“Universal suffrage is a very silly way to choose the direction & leadership of the world’s most powerful country. Half of people don’t even pay taxes. Millions can’t speak English. IDs are unnecessary. And everyone but White people just vote with their race. What a joke.”

A gun barrel is a gun barrel.

The point & purpose of ballot barrels is to enable the “winning” crooks to gun barrel threaten & murder legally all the fish in the barrel.

“Legally” is all it takes for crooks to believe the pretend/lie that they aren’t crooks. And, believe it or not, their victims believe it, too. Not just “too.” More. Believ(ot)e harder.

It also lets the rank & file disavow blood on their hands because they sub out the wetwork & have a plausible deniability clause in their “social contracts.” Or maybe that oughta read “social constructs.” Or maybe “division of laBorg.”

And this high intelligence & integrity has been the operational force for centuries. All the recorded centuries. Almost certainly all the unrecorded ones, too.

“Y’all hear about the guy that goes to see a doctor? And the doctor says “I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this but you got cancer head to toe, only have one week to live”. The man says “a week well that’s not enough time! Doc you gotta do something. I need more than a week.” And the doc thinks, he sits down, he says “I’ll tell you what to do, you go find yourself a barrel racer girl, with two little dogs, and you marry her.” And the man says “That’s gonna make me live longer?” And the doc says “No, but it’ll make that week feel like a fucking eternity.” ~ Joke told in the Yellowstone bunkhouse, which ~ Hollywood ~ has barrelracer girls living in it with the cowboys

“(It means, barrel racer girls are usually hard headed, loud mouthed, shit talking type of girls that will likely make marriage a living hell and feel like forever.)”

It’s a country thing. Not a city thing. But cities are country things, too. (And even if there ain’t m/any br girls per se in the city, city girls just seem to find out early ♪♫♪ too.) Countries is barrels.

Hey country thing: I ain’t the founding father of your monstrous child. And the shotgun wedding you say is legal ain’t lawful.

So: I divorce thee, I divorce thee, I divorce thee.
