It's a headwind and pro-life bills aren't even popular in FL. However, in GA, Kemp won with an even stricter bill. The Democrats need to find a decent candidate though, not somebody who's going to be almost 82 years old Election Day.
Polling very good in Ohio as well capturing The Republican momentum. It's just not believable that Democrats gained momentum in these other states. Again, I've seen no evidence of fraud at this point, but this thing smells.
If Tim Ryan had run as a progressive like Fetterman,Kelly and Warnock did we could have taken Ohio.Sharrod Brown and Obama shows progressives can win in Ohio.
David Wasserman notes the Democrat has been projected or is likely the winner in 212 races, while the Republican has been projected or is likely the winner in 217 races. The are six true Toss Ups left: AZ-1, AZ-6, CA-13, CA-22, CA-41, and WA-03. Democrats must run the table on Toss Ups to get to 218 seats and the majority.
Getting rid of the pre existing conditions clauses in healthcare was a huge progressive win imo.If it wasn't for Obama I probably wouldn't have health insurance today.
The Democrats never lost momentum in those other areas. Arizona governor looks to be pretty close, and that is how Cooke political rated it. I can't recall if it was "toss up" or "lean D" but it was never "lean R." Nevada senate also polled to be a tight race by Cooke. Ohio definitely opened up for Vance against Ryan in the closing weeks, and again, that is how Cooke called it. I think what isn't believable is that the R's were gaining momentum in those states leading up to the election. Those states were and remain close. I think that the legitimate, non-partisan pollsters got things pretty close to right this time around. The one surprise for some might be CO3 and Boebert. But many folks who actually live there were telling outsiders that Boebert might lose and that it will be close. Jenn Psaki's dad lives there, and he told her about a week before the election that he thought there was a chance Boebert could lose. Psaki didn't believe him, but it turned out to be incredibly close. I think she will win. It may already have been called for her. But if she loses, I'll believe the results.
Dems are currently leading in all six of those though, right? I know Wasserman said that WA-03 would be the true steal as it should have been easily R, but candidate quality again a problem for the R's.
Obama himself said he was closer to a 1980's moderate R. So, you're right, he isn't a progressive. If he were, we'd have President Bernie right now rather than President "I think I'm Joe"
