Democrats look to have won big victories in Kentucky and Virginia in off-year elections. Are these victories a sign of things to come President Trump's reelection or are they outliers?
Tuesday night was election night across the United States. Although it was an off-year for much of the country, there were still several important contests on the ballot.
Bevin looks to have lost in Kentucky despite an appearance by President Trump at a rally with him Monday — which some suggest signals a decline in Trump’s ability to turn out voters. Some analysts point to gains made by Democrats in suburban districts as a trend that is likely to continue in 2020. The election is part of a blue wave that started in response to the 2016 election“The more immediate significance of the results is what they portend for the Democrats’ much bigger battle ahead: They show that the electoral fire on the left sparked by Donald Trump’s stunning victory in 2016 is still burning hot three years later.” — Russell Berman, The Atlantic
The result in Kentucky is specific to Bevin being unpopular“KY just elected the first Republican attorney general since 1948 and the first African-American attorney generals in the state’s history. This is one piece of evidence that if Bevin loses, it’s about Bevin and not some sign that there are bigger factors at work.” — Cook Political Report analyst Jennifer Duffy
