Dems win BIG in the 2023 off-year elections!

[Hardkill]

Like what happened in the 2022 midterms, this wasn't supposed to happen for the Democrats, given that Biden and Democrats are still the party in power at the national level, Biden's low overall approval ratings, most Americans are still not happy about the economy, most Americans still staying that the country as a whole is headed in the wrong direction, so on and so forth.....

But Dems defied conventional wisdom once again!

 

It looks like the Democratic challenger lost the Mississippi gubernatorial race to the incumbent Republican governor, which was expected. However, the Democrats won all of the 5 other key elections nationwide including:

1. Democratic governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, who a rising young star in politics nationwide, won re-election by a solid margin.

2. Ohio voted to legalize the possession and sale of marijuana by a landslide.

3. Ohio voted to make the right to an abortion protected by the State Constitution.

4. Daniel McCaffery, a Democratic state Supreme Court candidate from Pennsylvania, won his election by a comfortable margin.

5. Republicans in Virginia not only failed to flip the State Senate chamber (upper house) in the Virginia State legislatures to the Republicans, they also lost control of      the House Delegates chamber (lower house) in the Virginia State legislatures to the Democrats.

 

There were also number of wins Democratic achieved tonight such as Cherelle Parker, who just now got elected as the first black female mayor of Philadelphia ever in the history of Pennsylvania and Gabe Amo, a former aide of Biden, who just now got elected as Rhode Island's first Black candidate elected to Congress.

 

This should be considered as a another bad sign for Trump and the Republicans next year in the 2024 general elections.
