Joe Biden enthusiastically celebrated the victories of the Democratic Party on Election Day last Tuesday. The president, harassed by polls that predict a resounding defeat against Donald Trump in the presidential elections, and with the more powerful progressive media looking for a replacement as a candidate, stuck out his chest in the face of a new electoral slip by the conservatives, who they see as Governor Youngkin is isolated in the middle of two Democratic chambers and crashed in the assault on the Governor's Office of Kentucky. In addition, the progressive iniciatives triumphed in Ohio (yes to abortion and legalization of marijuana) and the blue party candidates took the main positions at stake in Pennsylvania (Supreme Court judge and the Mayor of Philadelphia). The GOP's only consolation was the re-election of Tate Reeves in Mississippi.

"Voters vote, polls don't"

Biden took advantage of the election results to question the electoral predictions of the polls. "Voters vote. Polls don't. Now, let's go win next year," he said in a X post. To finish his publication, the president took the opportunity to ask for donations for his 2024 re-election campaign.

The president has reason to be satisfied. The progressive victories have a lot to do with key points of the electoral contest, especially those related to abortion. This is evident in Ohio, where citizens voted yes to enshrine it in the constitution, in addition to legalizing marijuana for recreational use.

Youngkin, isolated in Virginia

But abortion is also related to the Republican defeat in Virginia. Youngkin aspired to take the Senate from the progressives to control the legislature and be able to strengthen his fight against abortion, in addition to continuing to reduce taxes and fight the battle against wokism and the participation of biological men in women's sports.

Republicans stumble in Kentucky

In addition, Republicans crashed in Kentucky, where state Attorney General Daniel Cameron fell short against Gov. Andy Beshear, in what the GOP had pitched as a preempting of federal elections to try to take control of a Republican-heavy state. However, the focus on Beshear's local issues trumped the momentum of the Trump- and McConnell-backed challenger.

The Democratic Party sweeps Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, the Democratic Party monopolized practically all the positions in the race. Progressive candidates won the two most prominent positions, placing Daniel McCaffery as a state Supreme Court justice, while Chandelle Parker, a "moderate" Democrat, will be Philadelphia's first female mayor. In fact, the GOP's only victory came from Allegheny District Attorney Stephen Zappala, who had been a Democrat for 25 years and changed parties after being defeated in the primaries by George Soros' candidate.

Mississippi, Republican consolation

The joy for the Republican party came from Mississippi, where Tate Reeves managed to be re-elected as governor. Reeves withstood a well-funded Democratic campaign that tried to replace him with Brandon Presley, a relative of Elvis Presley.
