This is #gerrymandering , my friends. So happy to see the #MichiganDems finally gain control of their state house. 🗳️💙 #2022Midterms #VoterSuppression #DemocratsDeliver #VoteBlue #TheBeatWithAriMelber #AriMelber #Michigan #ElectionsMatter #VotingMatters #Vote #ProtectDemocracy

I am at my parent's house this afternoon. Just got here. Catching up on work. I hear MSNBC blaring downstairs that somehow 8 GOP Congressmen demanding that Santos resign is some sort of new tipping point. LOL He's not leaving, folks. #georgesantos #gop #usa #politics #ushouse #2022midterms

No surprise, really. The "stable genius" is basically only and exclusively responsible for successes, while someone other than him is always responsible for defeats.

‘It wasn’t my fault,’ Trump says about midterm losses, blames the anti-abortion GOP, MAGA supporters

Former President Donald Trump has been kissing up to the conservative anti-abortionists since getting into office despite the fact that his own opinions on abortion have been shady at best. Now, after his monumental loss via Republican candidates he endorsed during the midterm elections, Trump is turning on the very entities that put him into office and garnered him as much support as he had: the anti-abortion conservatives and his own MAGA supporters.

“It wasn’t my fault that the Republicans didn’t live up to expectations in the MidTerms,” said the leader of the Republican Party.

George Santos is set to be sworn in tomorrow. Let it be both an insult to the citizens of New York and an embarrassment to the Democratic party which totally failed to hold 4 House seats. Thanks to New York, the GOP goes into the 118th Congress with a 4-seat majority in the House. #2022midterms #usa #georgesantos #gop
#democrats #newyork

The #GOP by flooded the news with shoddy polls that leaned their way. It was a #PSYOP that discouraged support of #democrat campaigns that otherwise had a decent possibility of winning, while at the same time setting false expectations of a #RedWave to their base — giving more oxygen to the "stolen election" lies.

I was expecting more George Santos lies to break tomorrow. But nope. We got a new one tonight. #GeorgeSantos #usa #gop #lies #2022midterms

They knew who he was. Don't tell me they had no clue. #elisestefanik #georgesantos #usa #gop #2022midterms #politics

Nothing is going to happen to George Santos. The Democrats let him through, like a "prevent defense" in the NFL, or defensive indifference in the MLB. He's like one of the 19 hijackers. He could have been stopped 1,000 times earlier. Now, it is too late.

Seven reasons Georgians voted for #HerschelWalker.:

70% I always vote Repuglican.
10% I love football and recognize his name
8% Own the libs
6% To continue the turmoil of the 50-50 Senate
5% A friend or family member recommended.
1% He’s black
0% His moral character and values
0% His policy suggestions. Are there any?

What else?

These are totally fabricated off the top of my head. Do you have real numbers?

“The idea that the origin story of Herschel's candidacy was Trump calling him up and telling him he should run for the Senate, that is not accurate,” said a person close to Walker, with knowledge of his early discussions about running. “But you're not going to get anybody to say that on the record. And the reason why is because it kind of sounds like you're being disrespectful of the president.” #donaldtrump #gop #HerschelWalker #2022midterms

Well done, GA voters!

While the midterms are finally almost over with the #GeorgiaRunoff at an end, a reminder that #NewHampshire state House resulted in a tie with one seat at an exact vote tie. The race could be decided a few ways but may be decided by an election runoff yet again.

Herschel Walker has already lost, for all intents and purposes. Senator Warnock already has 100,000 votes on his way to over 2 Million. #Warnock #warnock51 #2022midterms #Georgiarunoff #usa
