It may not have been the massive red wave we wanted, but we still won, and have the potential to win some more. I think this midterm is a good lesson for everyone — there’s just so much partisanship in this country, we’re so divided down political lines, and there are not enough true “swing voters” to make a big difference anymore. It’s a very “red vs blue” type situation, and we can thank Obama for that. That was the last time that there was a massive “wave.” It’s no coincidence that we never had another one.
Not to mention, the Dems’ mail-in ballot harvesting scheme, which is something either the right has to sit down and figure out, in order to beat them at their own game, or we will just keep losing.
But like I said, there is a lot of good news out there, and this big win in Ohio is one of them. Republicans took all three open seats on the state’s Supreme Court.
Awesome!
WCPO reported Republicans claimed victory in all three open seats on the Ohio Supreme Court in the 2022 midterm elections.
The results secure the court’s decades-long red majority.
The race was considered one of the most important in the state due to the court’s ongoing fight with the Ohio Redistricting Commission.
Now that all three seats are red, the court is likely to approve any map submitted by the commission.
Justice Sharon Kennedy beat Democrat rival Jennifer Brunner in the race for the Chief Justice seat.
Kennedy is a former Hamilton police officer and judge for the Butler County Court of Common Pleas. She joined the Supreme Court in 2012.
Brunner will remain in her seat as an associate justice.
Republican Pat Fischer kept his seat after beating Democrat rival, Terri Jamison, by 14%, according to the Associated Press.
Fischer is the former President of the Cincinnati Bar Association and the former President of the Ohio State Bar Association.
Fischer was first elected to the Ohio Supreme Court in 2016.
Governor Mike DeWine’s son Pat won reelection. He also beat Democrat rival Marilyn Zayas by 14%.
DeWine has served on the Ohio Supreme Court since 2017. Before that, he served on the First District Court of Appeals and on the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.
And let’s not forget Trump endorsed JD Vance, who won his Senate seat, which is amazing. Ohio is definitely ULTRA MEGA MAGA country.
And it wasn’t that long ago, that Ohio was a “swing state,” and the same goes with Florida. So that’s really great news.
