Can clunking people’s heads together work? If so let’s do that for Senate leadership & get all that silliness behind us. Top spots for Takubo (who nearly lost) & Tarr & let’s get the rift behind us
Yes, we were fine yesterday, but the caucus needs to come together
Biggest House winner yesterday? Has to be JB Akers. That’s a tough district in a good year. To pull out a win in South Hills in a Dem wave year? Impressive. #2 is McNeely. Both are high quality candidates or they are both gone. They’ll now hold those seats as long as they want
The Gov & legislative leaders need to mend fences. & I get it, there is a race in two years where everyone will try to beat everyone. 😂. So what? Get yourselves together for at least one session & get some meat passed. You have some whacky Dems coming in so refocus the cannons.
Republicans need to understand we are electorally the Dems of the 80s and 90s. Low turnout, high enthusiasm gap midterms can get you beat bec it negates your massive voter registration advantage . Look at 94 for Republicans. We will pick up 4-5 of those House seats in 2 yrs.
Looking at the Senate races, WV Republicans should feel good weathering the storm.
The only remotely competitive areas now are 1/5/8/13/17. The other districts were total blowouts.
The House districts need to be rethought next re-districting. Kanawha/Mon/Jefferson need rework
I will say @ChazNuttycombe out of VA was pretty spot on in his polling. I Pooh-poohed him for over sampling urban areas of districts but he was really close. Congrats to him and his work. He definitely upped his street cred with the SD1 and SD8 polling
Richie Robb winning in Kanawha certainly shows it’s a tsunami Democrat year. 😂
No, listen, I like Richie, he’s gotten crazier over the years but I think he’ll normalize now he’s actually won a race for the first time in 30 years. Good for him
Senate Dems are at… 4. Yawn.
I said this b4 the election & I’ll say it after, I’ll take 10 more House Dems than having to listen to the preening peacock Fluharty for 4 LONG years. Whatever the number. It’s worth it.
Plus maybe @WV_Watch will write an article about someone other than Kayla Young! Win-win!
Congratulations to Senator Laura Chapman on her victory in State Senate District 1!
The West Virginia Republican Party congratulates Senator Laura Chapman on her election victory and looks forward to her continued service representing the people of the Northern Panhandle.
We thank the voters of Senate District 1 for making their voices heard and supporting their choice at the ballot box.
Congratulations, Senator Chapman!
This is literally the Dems maximum, high water mark. They’ll move up to a whopping 4 in the State Senate, 😂. And what 18 in the House? Literally, wherever the numbers end up, this is the best they will ever do.
And they lost their most important race with Blowhardy going down
Assuming the @WVaChamber has closed the doors & gone home after such an embarrassing election night?
I mean, picking Fluharty has to be the most embarrassing endorsement in their history. & that’s saying something. Weird picking a guy that hates your guts doesn’t work out well?
The Fluharty loss has upset the apple cart and will be studied for years. How is it possible that in a big Democrat year a Democrat who is a preening, pompous, blowhard jackass doesn’t win? A conundrum that will puzzle politicial scientists for years to come.
Once again bigoted WVians have turned away a chance for diversity! When the Senate convenes in Jan it will once again not have a person w/a face tattoo.
When will we learn having a face tat doesn’t necessarily mean you are a total lunatic?
Republicans were wrong, the blue wave is hitting West Virginia federal races. Instead of ABC calling the Capitol, Moore and Miller races at 7:30, they had to wait until.. 8:00 to call it! A huge win for WV Democrats!
A huge cry just went until at Dem Party headquarters! Wait, do they have a headquarters?
With 4 precincts out of 1100 in they are sweeping West Virginia Blue!!
My understanding is the only real ‘condition’ @WVaChamber put on their endorsement of Blowhardy was he remove, until after Nov 3, the charred remains of the Steve Roberts effigy hanging from the tree outside his office. We’ll see if this compromise helped him pull off the win!
Repubs are destroying Democracy! Go vote today for Democrats because it’s the last election we will ever have if you don’t ! We are all going to die otherwise!!!
Of course, if Trump won in 2024 that was going to be the last election but THIS TIME - it REALLY will be our last!
WV Republicans outvoted WV Dems in early voting. 42-38. They increased their EV #s over 2022 by 28% vs Dems 19%. & they will pummel Dems Election Day.
All the huffing & puffing & orgasmic hopes of the Dem party & their news orgs is not going to change the outcome.
