| Catch up on election insights from our writers across the country. While the control of Congress remains undecided, we’re continuing to update our live blog with the latest news. Stephania Taladrid on the role of female voters in deciding Nevada’s races: “Latinas have shown less affinity with Republicans than Latino men. In Nevada, the women I spoke to expressed dismay with the G.O.P.’s electoral tactics.” John Cassidy on the missing Republican “red wave”: “Democrat John Fetterman’s win demonstrated how voters’ concerns about the economy and inflation, although real and tangible, didn’t assure a victory for problematic Republican candidates.” Clare Malone on Fox News’ reluctance to mention Donald Trump during its coverage: “Given the unique influence of Fox on the G.O.P.’s nominating contests, tonight’s broadcast feels like one long act of passive aggression.” E. Tammy Kim on J. D. Vance’s victory over Tim Ryan in Ohio: “Vance’s win confirms a Trumpian turn in Ohio and the continued evaporation of working-class, pro-union Democratic politics in the Midwest.” Benjamin Wallace-Wells on Ron DeSantis’s triumph in Florida: He “has made himself into the most viable Republican alternative to Donald Trump, the avatar of the opposition to COVID restrictions, and the most bristling and visible culture warrior on the right.” Eric Lach on Governor Kathy Hochul and the races in New York: “Republicans haven’t won a statewide race in New York in some two decades. But this election season raised as many questions as answers about what Democrats . . . want to do with their control over the fourth most populous state in the country.” Sarah Larson on the fashion (and mood) of the Dr. Oz party: “A costumey Roger Stone chic, with a dash of Kellyanne Conway (spangles, dramatic flagwear in blazer-and-shawl form), along with feisty common-guy stuff, like ‘1776’ baseball hats.” |
