Florida like Arizona would collapse if it secedes from the Union.
With a GDP of 1.1 Trillion, that makes Florida the 16th largest economy in the world, placing it above notable places like Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and Sweden.
Many of the Republicans losing were Trump picks. I think Vance is the only Trumper who actually won last night at this point.
Vance might have also been buoyed by Mitch McConnell's PAC sending him money and a governor race on top, where the incumbent was popular, that propped him. He wasn't as bad of a candidate though (although I wonder if he links to Russia). But, Ohio is just more Red, so he had a lot of advantages working for him.
While the Democrats might be happy of Fetterman's win,the Democrats are really in worse shape.
a. The Republican Party could pivot to it being the party where DeSantis is the most popular person and lead candidate, not Trump, given DeSantis's big win in FL.
b. The Democrats doing better than expected in the Senate, with PA to help, actually gives the Biden the false notion that his administration is not doing so poorly, and Biden/Harris will seek re-election, even if there is corruption at least with Hunter Biden. There is a stubbornness with Biden, like many old timers in Congress for decades, like Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer. They will hold their seats or position and essentially block new leaders to emerge, while virtue signaling how elections are important and democracy is on the line.
If they are not old but involved in corruption, they still hold the seat. Bob Menendez, the less popular Democrat Senator of NJ, while under federal investigation will likely seek re-election in NJ.
OZ was a poor choice that was the problem would have done better if he ran as a moderate democrat in NJ, or NY.
He could have just waited two years and ran in NJ. He wouldn't need to ask Trump for endorsement, and he could even be pro-choice or not give awkward answers that local politicians need to be involved for abortions.
While NJ is a blue state, if DeSantis is on top of the Presidential ticket in 2024, Oz would have a chance with high turnout for DeSantis. And if Bob Menendez runs again even with his second scandal, it would help Oz that his competitor was unliked.
You don't see that half the country believes differently from you, because your bunch gangs up and silences us.
Who is "us" and please, don't even say democrats.
