Political insiders are weighing whether an October surprise could have the potential to upend the November midterm elections in America.
Fox News contributor and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove predicts the GOP will take control of the Senate ‘by a narrow margin.’
While most of the insiders suggest that the largest October surprise has yet to come, some are weighing the impact that the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will have on the midterm elections. Others conclude that billionaire Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter as it relates to political messaging, andtension with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, will affect the elections.
"I fear that this mid-term’s October surprise may be far worse than any of previous cycles. Joe Biden’s weakness has surely been on display in his handling of domestic issues, but it has been far worse in his handling of foreign policy. Biden’s weakness in Afghanistan emboldened our enemies and now has us on precipice of the unthinkable,after being backed in the corner by a US supported and effective Ukrainian military.
"2022 isn’t the year of your dad’s October surprise. Late breaking hit pieces and damning media stories rarely come so late in the election cycle. With mail-in voting now established and popular, campaigns need to define their opposition earlier. This year, the most potent October surprise came early. In June, theoverturned Roe v. Wade — taking away a fundamental freedom from more than half the country.
