Election night 2023 wasn't what Republicans were expecting to hear from the voters.
Another election night in which the Republicans had to put away those champagne bottles they had on ice and keep them for perhaps another day. It wasn’t a disaster for them, but it also wasn’t the results they were expecting to hear from the voters either. What is the message the voters are sending? A lot has been written about how the abortion issue is backfiring on the Republicans and it is.
It’s easy to try to put things in neat ideological or party boxes but such efforts don’t really explain how voters in Ohio and Virginia could vote for Democratic members and referendums. The results should not seem much of a mystery once seen in the larger framework of the uniquely American striving for greater personal freedom in their lives and how this concern can seemingly be stronger than even basic concerns about the economy and crime.
