The Republicans have a nice streak going of winning Special Elections since the 2018 midterms. At least four seats that have flipped from Democrat to Republican since then!
For example:
Republicans picked up a Kentucky state Senate seat earlier this week, marking the latest in a series of under-the-radar wins at the state level for the GOP since the November midterms. The pickups have the party claiming momentum going into 2020, after having lost control of the U.S. House last fall.
Republican Phillip Wheeler defeated Democrat Darrell Pugh in a special election to fill an eastern Kentucky state Senate seat. Wheeler will succeed a Democrat, making it a Republican pickup.
The Hill reports that the win marks a shift to the right in the historically Democratic area that has seen unions lose power and the coal industry struggle. The newspaper notes this is the fourth special election this year in which a Republican won a seat previously held by a Democratic state legislator. Democrats have also won special elections this year, but none have represented a pickup for the party of a GOP-held seat.

Also of interest, and long overdue:
Considering how many "republicans" are actually RINOs it really isn't going to help much.
ReplyDeleteLordstown. The collapse of the American working class continues apace. Trump has done nothing to stop it. The borders are wide open. The next President and Congress will be openly communist. AOC is the canary in the mine.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of shameless self-promotion, I just made a post about that...

I think that God gave us the Democrat majority in the House as a warning and illustration of just how crazy they have gotten. My only fear is that they have learned how to cheat so well that we will get an all Democrat Federal Government in 2021 and they start to create the hell hole they are wishing for. But before they go too far we may get to the bullet box stage of discourse.
