Newsweek: Republicans' Six Most Painful Election Losses

Mod: Nothing like a few smashing election victories to dissipate some of the foggier figments of the GOP disinformation cloud.

Republicans' Six Most Painful Election Losses (Newsweek link): Democrats across the country had a successful night in Tuesday's elections, winning a number of competitive races and capitalizing on voters' desire to protect abortion rights.

More than a year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe. vs. Wade, Tuesday's results suggest the issue of abortion rights remains a key priority for voters. Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky used it as a wedge issue against his Donald Trump-endorsed challenger, Republican State Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and Ohio voted to add abortion protections to the state constitution.
The success in the November 7 races arrives after abortion restrictions and the influence of Trump were widely blamed for the GOP's poor 2022 midterm performance, in which the party failed to regain control of the Senate and only achieved a narrow margin in the House, as talks of a "red wave" failed to come to fruition.

The results could also ease some pressure on President Joe Biden, who is facing ongoing concerns about his polling numbers against expected Republican presidential nominee Trump heading into 2024.

In a Tuesday night statement, Biden said that voters in Ohio and across the U.S. rejected attempts by "MAGA Republican elected officials" to impose extreme abortion bans. He said this "dangerous agenda is out-of-step with the vast majority of Americans." 
Daniel Cameron Loses to Gov. Andy Beshear: The Democratic incumbent managed to win another term in the governor's mansion in Kentucky, beating Cameron by 52.5 points to 47.5 as of early Wednesday morning.

Ohio Enshrines Abortion Rights: A ballot which sought to enshrine abortion protections into Ohio's state's constitution was passed on Tuesday.

Virginia Democrat Gain Full Legislative Control: Also on Tuesday, Democrats in Virginia managed to win control of both the state's chambers of government.

New Jersey Maintains Both Majorities: Democrats in the Garden State were able to retain their majorities in both the Senate and the Assembly.

Increased Pennsylvania Supreme Court Majority: Democrat Daniel McCaffery won the election for the vacant seat in the state Supreme Court on Tuesday against Republican Carolyn Carluccio. The seat opened up following the death of Democratic Chief Justice Max Baer in 2022.

Ohio Votes to Legalize Marijuana: As well as the abortion issue, voters in Ohio also approved a ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana use in Tuesday's election.
