That's an overstatement. One governorship that reverts to the Party without a president of that Party in the WH, as has happened in 10 of the last 12 election in VA is not a black swan much less a clock cleaning.
Democrats just got their clocks cleaned. No one seems ready to change anything.
NJ? Uh, uh, close but no cigar. But, let's wait for the Party of insurrection to chime in on that.
So Corona fatigue, inflation that was unavoidable because of supply chain issues and the usual demagoguery that is the staple of GOP politics. Snowflakes worried about their snowflake children's feelings being hurt from CRT that is NOT being taught through K-12. Childish impatience and chickenshit.
The infrastructure bill, 'classic', that just passed is money that will flow into all 50 states, that's not pandering. It IS what is long overdue. And there will signs everywhere reading 'Build Back Better, C'mon Man!'.
The 'other' infrastructure bill, is being pared down to considerably less than pandering and uncertain of being passed at that.
