Sorry, but midterms with a Democratic President are EXPECTED to go Republican. The House and Senate are supposed to go red.

So if it's close...

... that means Republicans have under-performed, because of abortion and their 2020 election denial.

And the only reason Democrats have not made history by retaining both chambers, or one, is because of global affairs (war in Ukraine and subsequent inflation). Not one head of state can reverse inflation by themselves. If the US had not lifted a finger, Ukraine would still not be producing grain this year and there would still be energy sanctions imposed on Russia.

We lost but it’s a close loss so we won is a hell of a message.

And yet, the correct one. Esp since all the claims of "tsunami" didn't come anywhere close to passing.

And for your reference, Trump, Obama, Bush 2 and more all had midterm losses. All. So this is fairly typical.

And Clinton. Biden's midterm loss is actually would be fairly low compared to his predecessors, in spite of all the doomsday predictions from GOP strategists, conservative cool-aid drinkers and media.

What does “tougher on crime” mean?

Only one party supported more funding to local police forces and it wasn't the GOP. Only one party wants to get some of the most lethal weaponry off our streets, and it isn't the GOP.

You'll only convince many of us when we don't have liberals in DA and other court positions who think it's fine to have low bail, cashless bail, and repeat criminals walking the streets to prey on innocent victims who are just trying to go about the business of living and get mugged, carjacked, raped, and murdered by those with a violent criminal history.

You forgot about kids peeing in litter boxes, drag queen story time and CRT.

PP here. You brought up those "concerns," not me. I don't even remotely worry about your list. I do care about he safety of innocent people who are violently assaulted, often unexpectedly.

Then please vote for Democrats. Republican extremists break into peoples homes and assault relatives of politicians and their leaders make jokes about it and encourage it.

The GOP is not tough on crime. They are the criminals. And they just lie about it.

+100. Well said!

Not sure if this has been discussed. Don't want to look through all of the comments.

MICHIGAN!!!

Whitmer won.
Democrats win back full control of both Legislature chambers for the first time since 1983.
Abortion enshrined into the state Constitution.
Democrats maintain edge in State Supreme Court.

Don't think it's possible to understate how big this is.

Then I hope both of you will agree that anyone who violently assaults someone should not be walking freely. Ever.

I am so effin proud of Michigan. Whitmer has big 2024 energy now, too, I'd say.

Flyover state that keeps losing population but yes, that’s big news. Many pro-choice, single-issue voting students who registered to vote in MI. It’s the youth vote driving the win so give them plenty of credit.

Of course. Violent criminals should not be on the streets.

But I will not ignore it if you say that Democrats as a PARTY support letting violent criminals go free. That is not true. That is ridiculous.

Don't confuse the desire to reform the criminal justice system, which IS disproportionally harmful to POCs and needs major work, to saying that violent criminals can just walk free.

That is classic GOP lying.

Is a D win likely in AZ at this point? Why are they so slow to report in? Kelly has lost some ground since last night and they are only66 percent reported. If his lead does not hold and D's lose WI (which looks likely), D's lose the Senate, right?

There was a real risk of 2 Republicans winning and creating policies that would be deeply harmful to LGBTQ students but they lost! The democrats all won so I'm happy about that.

Jennifer Lewis lost to Ben Cline and that's disappointing but I thought I'd share our little win in the valley

Yay!

Republicans have built up this ridiculous caricature of what they think Democrats believe. Yes, absolutely, people who commit violent assaults should not be walking freely. Why do you think you are stating something controversial?
