Pollsters tell Hannity Black and hispanic voters are moving to GOP in droves
https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/28/hanni...advantage/

EXCERPT: “We consistently see where the African American vote, about 20% or more, are going for Republican candidates,” Matt Towery, chairman of InsiderAdvantage, told Hannity when asked about Georgia and Pennsylvania, two states which could decide control of the Senate.

“When it comes to either Hispanic, Latino or what we call other, sometimes it’s 60-something percent for the Republican,” Towery continued. “These are things that we’ve never seen before. I’ve never seen Republican candidates getting 20% of the African American vote this close to an election. I certainly have never seen Hispanic, Latinos or other races trending Republican like I’m seeing in this particular year.” (MORE - missing details)


'Year of the Latina Republican': Congress poised to make history with 90 Hispanic candidates on the ballot
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/...-on-ballot

EXCERPTS: Hispanics are poised to sweep up the most-ever seats in Congress in the midterm elections, with the biggest gains likely coming from Republicans.

Between both parties, a record-high 90 Hispanic candidates are on the ballot for House and Senate seats in the midterm election. For the House, 53 candidates are Democrats and 33 are Republicans. And both parties have a pair of Hispanic Senate candidates on the ballot.

[...] House Republicans are optimistic they will retake the majority — and do so with its most diverse slate of candidates yet.

"This year is going to be the year of the Latina Republican," Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told the Washington Examiner.

"We will have multiple Hispanic women candidates that flip districts. There's likely three that flip districts in South Texas, but you will also have Latina candidates in Florida and Oregon who are running great races that are going to flip those districts as well. And much like 2020 was the year of the Republican woman, this is going to be the year of the Latina Republican." (MORE - missing details)

Fantasies? Do you have polls contradicting the polling averages for these demographics?

What do you think the biggest outcome will be (at the national level) for these mid-terms? It looks like the House will go Republican and whether then Senate stays Democrat or goes Republican doesn't seem to matter a lot since Biden would still have veto power over any legislation.

I think the biggest priority for Republicans is stymieing Biden's policies, not passing new legislation. Not sure most Democrat voters realize that, as they're being told Republicans will, as if they could, pass a nationwide abort ban, if they win.

I agree but my point is why is there so much anticipation when it seems like the outcome is already known? It doesn't really matter where the Democrats retain the majority in the Senate or whether they lose that since the result would be the same. They wouldn't be passing anything (due to the House) and they still have some control due to the veto.

They already know that they (Democrats) aren't going to be passing any new legislation (either way).

Perhaps their exhilaration just comes from relief of not being severely punished on Election Day for conflation with RvW, MAGA (Jan 6), mass shootings, social injustice, QAnon ludicrosity, etc. As well as promising signs pointing to two years from now.

Setting aside how Democrats would reciprocally respond to such disappointment and ominous signs, over that intervening period, by orchestrating goodness knows what, if the public would simply grant them greater control the next couple of times around...

Earnest promises of reparations for slavery? "Migrants" given automatic and immediate citizenship upon crossing the border? The choices of trans-people receiving valid certification in biology that they're truly just as much that sex (sans even surgery) as those born such (not just limited to legal pretext)? Imagination is too poor for transcending such stale, pejorative(?) tropes and apprehending what new creative boundaries would actually be extended much further with regard to deep assurances.

Stopping the worst of Biden's economy-killing urges is quite an accomplishment, as the whole economy will not only finally get a decent chance to recover from covid but investor confidence in the likely Republican wins in the midterm already seem to be buoying the stock market. That helps everyone, and even in the short-term. There's a lot of optimism that Republicans can better mitigate the recession. Plus Democrats lose their ability to pass more recession-feeding spending, and it ends the looming threat of their woke/authoritarian goals.

No idea what Democrats would have to anticipate from the midterm, aside from campaign fear-mongering that relies on them being politically illiterate.
