GOP Midterm Hurricane Gets Downgraded

Politico: “Democrats recently inched ahead of Republicans on the generic ballot, a leading indicator of midterm performance. Kansas demonstrated the salience of Roe v. Wade. And on Tuesday night, a Minnesota special election became the second consecutive contest to suggest Democratic candidates may be better positioned to compete in November than once expected.”

Josh Kraushaar: “The results suggest Republicans are still well on track to win the House majority in 2022, but not by the historic margins that once looked possible. They also indicate that Republicans can’t rely on a big red wave to sweep in their flawed Senate nominees in battleground states.”
