Rubbernecking Republicans on the Road to 2020

· Leave a Comment

The Hotline: “If Jon Ossoff’s loss in Georgia was the canary in the 2018 coal mine, Tuesday’s result in North Carolina’s 9th District may be the car wreck for rubbernecking Republicans on the road to 2020. The result indicates that the drastic realignment that unfolded in direct response to President Trump hasn’t reverted. And that should be worrisome for a GOP that, after losing suburban seats across the country, hopes next year to cut into the Democratic House majority, retain Senate control, and reelect its president.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
