Media reports indicate that the Committee is also looking at legislative proposals. (One, for example, is a reform of the Electoral Count Act.)

The media believes that the Republican Party has found a formula to win the midterm elections in 2022, and the presidential election in 2024: run candidates like Glenn Youngkin who can appeal to suburban swing voters without alienating the right-wing base. But there's just one problem: the GOP's candidate pool. Consider the party's likely candidate for governor in Arizona. Kari Lake, the Arizona gubernatorial candidate recently endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has embraced fringe far-right figures in her campaign events, including publicly thanking a Nazi sympathizer for ... read more

Woke policies costly to DemocratsA.J. Kaufman: James Carville believes too much “left-wing nonsense and claptrap” is why his party failed so often in Tuesday’s elections, especially in Virginia. When asked Wednesday how Terry McAuliffe lost to Glenn Youngkin in a state that President Joe Biden won by over 10 points a year earlier, the long-time Democrat strategist told *PBS NewsHour* that it was “stupid wokeness” and the overall agenda pushed by progressives. “What went wrong is stupid wokeness. Don’t just look at Virginia and New Jersey. Look at Long Island, Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, ... read more

Pennsylvania also a warning to DemocratsSalena Zito: Voters in the Keystone State, as in Virginia, took Tuesday's election as an opportunity to rebut Democrats' overreach.

With mail ballots still pending, Republicans are poised to sweep all four of Pennsylvania's statewide judicial elections. They also made gains in municipal races. In the collar counties surrounding Philadelphia, voters echoed the same... read more
