Two weeks out from the midterms, evidence points to a re-emerging red wave that could sweep in GOP control of both chambers.

and conversations with leading Democratic and Republican strategists suggest it's now very possible House Republicans win back the majority on Nov. 8 with more than 20 House seats — once the upper range of most analysts' projections. In the Senate, Republican officials are now bullish they'll gain at least the one seat necessary to regain the majority.

The national political environment shapes the trajectory of all the battleground races, meaning a big enough wave could touchThere's also an outside chance it sweeps in flawed Republican Senate nominees in Georgia and Arizona — despite their underwhelming campaigns against battle-tested Democratic incumbents.Inflation, inflation, inflation. Abortion may have peaked too soon as a motivating issue to give Democrats a maximum boost in November.

As a Liberal Democrat, I sincerely hope the GOP wins Congress and sweeps every race. It will teach our woke PC warriors and identity politics-oriented youth a valuable but punishing lesson. You cant change people nor win over fans through bigotry, ageism, hate, and division.

A lot of Nov denial in these comments

Yassss!

Bookmarked to see how right or wrong you are with making such a premature call.

Bullshit- look at early voting almost double 2018 and tilted heavily Democratic

Bullshit- look at gray voting turnout up close to 85% over the 2018 Blue Wave....

Fake news.

I disagree!

Reverse psychology, much?

There is no red wave - if this were a wave election we’d be seeing the flashing red indicators by now - the generic ballot would be R+ 7 or more & none of these races especially in the senate would be close - you’d be seeing Repubs leading across the board - that’s a wave

Interesting development.

🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

BS, who the heck is being polled?

Goodbye democracy if this is true.

Is anyone else sick of these news outlets lying?

“Abortion may have peaked too soon as a motivating issue.” This is how the media covers the political rise of fascism, offering bothsides analysis.

What a shame, all Trump minions, deniers, lackeys, footstools and lowbrow hicks, can’t wait for that circus. GOP

Bullshit=AXIOS

These polls don’t gauge turnout. Democrats keep organizing, mobilizing, talking to voters & getting every ballot in for Democrats up & down ballot! All of us together building the blue wave are how we WIN!

👎

Unless ..

Wow, what happened to Axios? Did they get bought by Murdoch?

The red wave never went away. The broken, unhinged left started losing this election cycle the minute you swore that babbling sack of misfires in as a president in January '21. Welcome to the reckoning. 😃

Guess we will see if polling works in America. Like it doesn't account for wives secretly voting against their husbands or all the student loan forgiveness folks knowing 6 republican states AG's don't want them to prosper or GOP telling voters to hold ballots until the last day.

About to unsubscribe from your newsletters. Sadly all it is now is Hotline Josh spinning everything to a positive for Republicans. This is what you call journalism?!

BS

Don't rush to those conclusions yet.

No, it doesn't. It shows a tossup that's going to come down to turnout.

This is straight up bullshit. Even if the polls were right, that’s an R+2 environment; barely a wave, much less a tsunami.

What is wrong with voters?

PolitiFact - Debunking a fake claim about cuts to Social Security if Republicans win the HouseA screenshot of a purported House Republican plan to cut back Social Security, Medicare, and disabled veterans’ benefits appears to be a fabrication. The party’s agenda document doesn’t include such language. Even so, that's what Republicans do. They cut social programs to the bones but give millionaires tax breaks. Seems entirely plausible tho GOP tactics don’t stand well

Republicans spend big to oust the Democrat trying to keep the House majorityJust over two weeks to Election Day, a Republican super PAC spent $6 million on an upstate New York congressional district in hopes of taking down Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D), the chairman of the campaign committee scrambling to keep the House majority. Mapiavva Just think how many people could be helped with the exorbitant amount of money people and PACS spend on campaigns. The election shouldn't be about how much money you can spend but on who you are and what you stand for. We need serious campaign reform.

The party’s agenda document doesn’t include such language. Fake news. Garbage. With all of the more egregiously bad policy ideas floating around out there, no need to exaggerate or just flat out fabricate. “The party’s agenda document doesn’t include such language”, likely because the party’s agenda document isn’t nearly so forthright. Surely the fabrication is satire, a spoof and a parody of the actual House Republican plan. Like its source material, it’s a joke. 🙃 “The party’s agenda document doesn’t include such language”, likely because the party’s agenda document isn’t nearly so forthright.

Democrats fear the midterm map is slipping awayThe liberal Navigator public tracking poll flashed a major warning sign for Democrats in mid-October, reporting a 20 percentage point jump since September in the share of independent voters concerned about the economy and gas prices. But the Republicans voted against trying to do something about the economy. So shouldn’t this be a warning sign for them? I mean, if media reported cause and effect accurately, of course. Worried about 2 things that are driven up by corporate greed which the Dems have been calling out and fighting against 9 times out of 10. Let's not make any mention of reality or the very real threat to women's rights that the religious zealot Republicans are spearheading right? So voters concerned about the economy will turn things over to the GOP, which always cuts taxes on the rich, drives the economy off a cliff and steals all the spoils. Brilliant!
