US midterms: Why a Republican 'wave' never happened

[Scott]

 

With inflation at 8% and poor approval ratings for the Democratic president, Republicans were hoping to make big strides in retaking Congress. Why hasn't that happened?

Pollsters and pundits for weeks warned of an impending "red wave" - an electoral Republican rout which would deliver a harsh rebuke of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

As the sun rose across the US on Wednesday, however, it became clear that the "tsunami" Republicans had hoped for never materialised.

"While Democrats' views have darkened this year, they tend to remain more positive than Republicans and independents, ranking such economic concerns behind other issues, such as climate change, racism and abortion."

 

I expect with a GOP house, and a move away from hysterical and hypocritical "election denier" and "big lie" talking points and more towards reality based narratives concerning foreign corrupt adventures and whether a Presidents family should be in business with the Chinese communist party, whether we should be sending open checks to a country that was supposed to have a dangerous nazi problem, disastrous inflation and the economy the public perception will change. Imaginary foes may make a great diversion but with Pelosi gone so will her irrelevant alarmist narratives. Good riddance.
