It legitimately doesn't make sense.

exit polling on roe showing it even in striking distance of economic issues seems like the only partial explanation

In 2002, 9/11 gave Republicans a major boost.

In 2022, it seems Roe V Wade energized people so much that the economic issues didn't matter anymore.

The democrats seemed posed to lose the house and keep the senate.

Overall, this may be the best performance of a party in power for their first midterm since 2002.

Democrats have majorly overperformed, due to Roe v Wade, astonishing everyone and thoroughly owning C-Spam.

eh, it still didn't energize them so much the economic issues didn't matter. it's just an "all the things happening at once" situation. the exit polling clearly shows the economic issues also mattered to people

although yes i think between these results and even deep red states ballot initiatives going down on removing abortion rights, the Republicans did major gently caress up with roe

I'm in awe of the incompetence of the state Republican Party. I'm still not over Jensen losing Washington County by DOUBLE DIGITS. Before Walz, they hadn't gone for the Democrats since Rudy Perpich in '86. Here was the map when Tom Emmer lost a squeaker to Dayton in 2010:



I live in Washington County. It's full of the scarediest white folks you ever did see. A competent Republican campaign finds votes from towns like these in their loving couch cushions. It should not even take EFFORT. How the gently caress does a Republican lose this area by ELEVEN GODDAMN POINTS

There is a reason why I keep making it clear this is a loss.

But there was no scenario at this point where democrats didn't lose so its amazing they didn't lose harder.

Classic expectations management. The Herschel Walker debate strategy. He didn't pee his pants on stage, so he won.
