Game Day: Big Night of Victories for Democrats!
‘A Shocking Outcome!’ Joe Scarborough Torpedoes Biden Doomsayers — Says ‘Crushing’ Dem Wins Prove It (mediaite.com)Fox & Friends Blast Governor Glenn Youngkin’s ‘Epic Failure’ in Virginia Election One Day After Going ALL IN On Him (mediaite.com)Daniel Cameron Lost Kentucky Election Because He Sold ‘His Soul’ to Trump, Chris Christie Tells CNN: ‘Huge Mistake’ (mediaite.com)
Ohio: Voters enshrine abortion rights in state constitution and approve ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana. Interesting sidelight: take a look at the Trump counties in Ohio that voted to support abortion rights.
New Jersey: Democrats had braces for losses in the state legislature – but instead notched big legislative wins.
Pennsylvania: Cherelle Parker has been elected Philadelphia’s first Black woman mayor.
Needless to say, a few people reacted on Xwitter…
Across the country tonight, democracy won and MAGA lost.

Reproductive freedom and democracy prevailed decisively.
Again.
Rough night for extreme MAGA Republicans.

I don't think people understand the massacre Republicans suffered down-ballot in PA tonight.
Obviously, PA SC was the focus and Allegheny had specific local factors, but Dems swept almost everything in winnable races from school boards, commissioners, etc. Especially in SEPA.

Good morning. 362 days til Election Day. Let’s recap the last two years. Historic midterm performance for dems. Over-perform 38 special elections by 10 points in 2023. Pretty crushing E day last night. Mainstream media has been horrific in its coverage of Democrats and elections

There are reports from all over the country this morning of Dems making big gains in local elections and school board races. Our win seems to have been broad and deep.
Dare we say blue wave? https://t.co/XeFTPINyvS

Allison Spillman is the parent of a trans child. She just defeated Meg Bryce, the late Justice Scalia's rightwing daughter, for a seat on the Ablemarle School Board in Virginia. https://t.co/x1HLRro05C

This was an important under the radar race for a vacant Supreme Court seat in PA. This restores Democrats majority to 5-2 on the 7 member court.
The race wasn't super close either. Looks like he will win by slightly more than Fetterman. https://t.co/PETNUM34Bf

I’m so proud of all of the Democrats running for school board seats in the Des Moines suburbs of Ankeny, Johnston, Urbandale, Waukee and West Des Moines. All the Democrats won. All the Moms for Liberty lost!

Democrats in NJ flipped a +35 Trump district tonight.
Getting reports of Dems outperforming expectations in local races across US. Anxious to learn more tomorrow. https://t.co/XCqJEX8mrW

… including an outspoked Daily Caller alum…
Lesson from today: If Trump is on the ballot next year, the GOP is looking at a wipeout of epic proportions up and down the ballot. Anyone remotely associated with him in non-blood-red states/districts (and even some red ones) will be fortunate to eek out a win. Republicans can’t…

… and the popular [fake] Jack Smith account:
Good morning.
Last night’s election results:
MAGA ideology lost.
Divisive propaganda lost.
MSM polling lost.You won.
America won.— Jack E. Smith ⚖️ (@7Veritas4) November 8, 2023
“They made it appealing for younger voters to come out. It was a disaster.”
“Pure democracies are not the way to run a country.”
Listen to them lament.
Listen to their disdain as their toxic vision for America gets rejected over and over again.
Keep doing it.
Until we have…

And this. (Spoiler: Yes, for now.)
Can we quit talking about polls now??

Bottom line: the GOP is in retreat, and former game show host and ex-president Donald Trump is their spray-tanned albatross.
