A year after promising viewers a “red tsunami” in the 2022 midterms, only to be left with egg on their faces after the GOP drastically underperformed, Fox News was once again wondering what went wrong after Democrats romped to victory in statewide elections on Tuesday night.
Despite recent polls showing President Joe Biden deeply underwater with voters and even losing to Donald Trump in several battleground states, the Democratic incumbent governor easily won victory over his MAGA-endorsed opponent in deep-red Kentucky. And over in Ohio, a state Trump won by eight points in 2020, voters overwhelmingly passed an amendment ensuring access to abortion care in the state’s constitution.
The continued drag that undoing Roe v. Wade has had on the GOP was especially apparent in Virginia, where Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had promised to implement a 15-week abortion ban if the GOP was able to gain unified control over the state’s General Assembly. Instead, not only were Youngkin’s hopes of a Republican sweep dashed, but the Democrats now control both chambers.
No, the original got deleted. Looks like there have been a few attempts to recreate it though: found one that looks decent, but reddit’s being fucky with the comments actually showing up in the thread they were posted - it’s a 3 part post and only one shows up, but if you look at the user’s comment history you can see them all back to back. This link should bring you to the correct page, ctrl+F “PT 3 -.-” to jump to it. It’s reverse chronological, so the the pt 3 is the last, with the 2nd and 1st appearing under it.
Infact, fuggit, I hate directing traffic to reddit, and I’ve got the pages open now. Gimme a min and I’ll just get the list + links over as a post here.
Edit - Here ya go:
