While the Democrats and their controllers are mounting a massive vote fraud effort to stop the President’s re-election, the effort to take over the Senate from the Repblican majority fell flat, and, rather than gaining new seats in the House as they planned, they lost at least four seats to Republicans.
Despite unprecedented amounts of money being pumped into Democratic Senate races around the country, all but one of the campaigns were defeated. Democrats had targeted Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Susan Collins of Maine, Steve Daines of Montana and Martha McSally of Arizona. All but McSally won by comfortable margins. Also, Senator Doug Jones, the Democratic Senator from Alabama, was defeated by Republican Tommy Tuberville. Overall, Republicans will retain 52 seats, a loss of one. In Michigan, with 98% of the vote counted by the early evening, veteran John James’s fight to oust Democratic incumbent Gary Peters remains too close to call, with Peters being credited with just under 60,000 votes more than James.
On the House side, as ABC headlined the results: “Democrats keep House majority but ‘Republicans defied the odds’ — The Democrats could wind up with the slimmest House majority in 20 years.” As of midday Wednesday, with some races not yet decided, the Republicans have gained six seats in the House, according to AP. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted Wednesday morning, “Republicans defied the odds and grew our party last night,” and to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, he noted: “You’ve been put on notice.”
