The red wave that wasn't

I’ll be the first to admit that I expected Tuesday’s midterm election results to be much more favorable to Republicans. As of this writing, it looks like the GOP will win back the House but only by a very narrow margin. And the party’s chances of winning the Senate all but collapsed overnight, with Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman beating Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz and Georgia’s race between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker veering into runoff territory. If there is still a path for victory in the Senate for Republicans, it will be through Nevada and Georgia — neither of which is going to be easy to win if last night is any indication.
