Column: What do the midterms — and 2024 — hold for the GOP? (via latimesopinion)
election has many in the GOP counting on a crimson tsunami come next year’s midterms and fueled even more confidence that Joe Biden will be a one-term president. Some skepticism is in order, though a little triumphalism is warranted as well.
Democrats can obsess all they want about alleged racist dog whistles in Virginia to explain how Glenn Youngkin, the Republican candidate for governor — and Winsome Sears, the Black Republican candidate for lieutenant governor — won so handily, flipping Democratic counties red, out-performing former President Trump’s 2020 margins everywhere, and erasing Biden’s huge margins in 2020.
How the midterms will go depends largely on events outside of Republican control, partly for the obvious reason that Republicans don’t control anything in Washington. If the congressional elections were last week, it’s not unreasonable to think the Democrats might have lost 40 or 50 seats in the House and several seats in the Senate.
