Re: US mid terms Today 6th November 2018
The last remaining Senate election, a runoff between the top two vote getters two weeks ago, (no one got over 50%, and few states have runoffs), is today in Mississippi. The R is expected to win.
Orange County Ca.home to Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan used be thought of as the spiritual epicentre of conservatism Before the mid-terms it had 2 D and 4 R reps in Congress. Today it has 6 D.
Democrats smash Watergate record for House popular vote |
"Democrats won the House with the largest margin of [raw votes] in history for either party," NBC's Jane Timm writes.
- "Of the more than 111 million votes cast in House races nationwide, Democrats took 53.1 percent — retaking control of the House of Representatives ... — while Republicans received 45.2 percent."
- "Democratic House candidates currently hold an 8,805,130 vote lead over Republicans. ... [That] smashes the previous record of 8.7 million votes in 1974, won just months after President Richard Nixon resigned from office in disgrace amid the Watergate scandal."
Looks like House Dems will pick up 4-0 ... "Democrat T.J. Cox slipped past Republican incumbent David Valadao ... to take the lead in the country’s sole remaining undecided congressional race, positioning Democrats to pick up their seventh House seat in California and 40th nationwide."(L.A. Times) |
As a general rule the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.
