Red wave after all? GOP winning popular vote by wide margin despite incongruous results

The country may have experienced a red wave after all. It just didn't translate into the electoral outcomes that have historically accompanied major political shifts — and after the initial wave of instant narratives extemporized by pundits on election night, close observers are now just beginning to dig for the reasons underlying the model-shattering disconnect.

Republicans are currently winning the national popular vote for the House in Tuesday's midterm elections by a large margin, according to the latest data from the Cook Political Report.

Specifically, GOP candidates have so far received 50,672,592 votes, or 52.3% of the total ballots cast as of this writing. Democrat candidates, by comparison, have so far received 44,802,597 votes, or 46.2% of the total.

These figures come from Cook's 2022 National House Vote Tracker, which is being updated as states continue counting ballots.

This support for the GOP appears to fit with what pre-election polling data had suggested heading into Election Day….

It’s not a surprise that the GOP got the most votes. Unfortunately a lot of them occurred in traditional blue areas where increases in support from people of color weren’t enough to win any of them. Long term though the transition of the GOP to a multiracial working and middle class coalition is gaining strength.

 

There is hope for the future and the present still.

 

It wasn’t just people of colour it was women and millennials

it does not negate the fact that this election result was waaaaay below expectations

 

No. They are not winning by wide margins. Dems had a bigger margin in 2018.

 

The GOP Got Shellacked (in terms of "Expectations")...
Trying to *Spin* any other narrative is Egregiously Misguided...

 

Exactly, omni...
Anybody trying to *Spin* this Absolute Shellacking (in terms of Pre-Election GOP Expectations) as some sort of "Good Thing for the GOP"...
...Is the Equivalent of Losing everything in the Great Flood...
...And, then *Spinning* it as a "Positive Thing" b/c their house didn't burn down...
Too funny...:smdh:

 

There is absolutely hope, the silent generation as well as older boomers are starting to exit while gen Z is starting to enter.

It’s kind of funny when you think about it — these old people have fought their entire life for items that would have improved their lives only to have younger generations immediately step up and flip the switch.

Well deserved

 

Nothing like a coping mechanism in full view to watch.

 

As long as the Republicans get the majority in the House to put up a road block against the out of control spending of Sleepy Joe and the Democrats, that's all I care about. Let's go Brandon, just looking at this clown bugs the **** out of me.

 

You mean the generation who gets hit by buses because they can't get their face out of their cell phones?
The generation as a whole can't find Russia on a map
The generation who doesn't know who fought in the revolutionary war?
The generation who are indoctrinated to shut down free speech on their campuses

Democrats thrive on the dumbing down of America.

 

LOL, you mad bruh.

And a huge LMAO to this thread. The red tsunami was nothing more than a Woman's spotty cycle.

 

Sure is, now Trump no longer has his political protection, and he will get what is coming to him.

 

You mean how fiscal conservatives put a road block on the out of control spending of the Trump Administration?

 

Better than the generation that believes in magical sky demons that love them unconditionally unless they don’t follow the cherry-picked verse. The same ones that run through buildings because they can not figure out which pedal means go and have seen the nation go from a powerhouse to destroyed under their watch.

It’s time for them to step aside.

 

They flipped me too. I'm actually starting to like wealth redistribution now that I'm benefiting from it. All these young idiots. I mean the utterly vaporized market cap of BTC alone has been a laugh riot (and ofc my money printer goes burrrrrrr as the futures contracts expire because, you know me, I played that telegraphed implosion as well).

So, two more years of this? Yes please! They can have their pedo grooming, their tranny dominated sports, their crime infested cities, and their rampant poverty. I'm going to yachtworld.

 

Gen Z are apparently statists who worship statism. They look for the government to solve all of their problems and give them free stuff. In the past they would have been called communists. The liberal take over of the education system is a great success for the left.

 

Right, [fornicate] the old people. Here is honest liberalism on full display.

 

So now you hate Christians as well
But your a lefty and that pretty much what the party of hate is built on.

 

Not all Christians, now made up christian nationalists — yes. Absolutely
I hope they get everything they deserve in hell

 

Spoken like a true Democrat

 

Democrats are relieved they dodged a bullet. Now they are acting like this is a victory for them. Losing the House and many districts that are traditionally blue is not a victory.

 

~ It appears that Republicans will indeed take the House. What they will do with it is another matter ...

~ Just imagine if they also lose the Senate ...

 

Odd how y’all have no issues with christifascists screaming everyone they don’t like is going to hell — but it’s a Democrat thing to say the same about them lol

What a joke

 

Only joke is you trying to play god and condemn people to hell. You will have to answer for your sins just like all of us. I hope god takes kindly to people who support baby killers.

 

The left will whine about the electoral college and ignore obvious left wing gerrymandering that allows this.

Nevermind the left also drastically changed election laws as well.

Anything to stay in power.
