… The results are in. Zohran Mamdani, Mikie Sherrill, Abigail Spanberger, Jay Jones, and, out in California, Prop 50 all won their respective races. Not unexpected, but admittedly disappointing. In looking at the quality of the winners, I’m more convinced than ever that if there is ever a true blue wave, they’ll all be arriving in one tiny car.
Of course, the leftist media will be having lots of fun rubbing this in over the next several months. However, as Kruiser points out in his Morning Briefing, there’s a bigger picture to consider.
Two of the races will make it nigh on impossible for the Dems to come up with a sales pitch to win back those who felt that the party had become uncomfortably extreme. Now the aforementioned commie jihadist will be front and center for the Democrats as the mayor of the biggest city in the country. Virginia Dems giving Jay Jones a pass for openly fantasizing about murdering Republicans isn’t going to make the case to flyover country Dems and independents that the party is making a return to normalcy. The only thing that they could have done worse in that regard is elect a drag queen serial killer to one of the offices up for grabs last night.
