Democrats had now flipped 30 seats in state legislatures and other government positions in special elections since Donald Trump’s election.
This does not only include winning the Virginia Governorship, but also state legislative gains in that state and in New Jersey, and also a multitude of lesser known, but significant rejection of Republican candidates across the board, most recently in the backyard of Donald Trump, the Palm Beach County district in both the state House and state Senate, where Trump resides at his Mar A Lago estate in Palm Beach.
But also the same turnaround occurred in Tampa, Florida, and upset wins in other states, including most recently, Arkansas and New Hampshire, along with Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Iowa. The swing in support to Democrats is overwhelming, stunning Republicans nationwide.
It seems clear that the “Blue Wave” is on its way for the midterm elections in November, which is why Donald Trump is trying to limit the right to vote, and why he promoted gerrymandering in Texas and other Republican states, but with Democrats taking action in California and Virginia in particular, to try to resist the strategy.
