Democrats are trying to make a big deal out of a special election in New York’s 19th district where Democrat Pat Ryan beat Republican Marc Molinaro.
Below is how MSNBC reported the win claiming that the Roe v. Wade decision has energized liberals and the midterms aren’t going to be as bad as forecasted.

Political insiders disagree.
Ryan was a very well-known candidate in the area and has been part of local politics for years. The Democrat candidate political history shows he is what was once called a blue-dog Democrat. What’s most important to remember about this race is that Ryan is merely a placeholder to hold the seat until January. He’s not running to be a member of Congress for the following term. Republican Molinaro is facing Democrat Josh Riley in November for the seat.
Democrats don’t want to talk about the butt whooping they took in Florida school board elections and what the numbers look like in other traditionally contested states.

Of the 30 school board candidates endorsed by DeSantis 25 of them won, and Miami Dade School district is now the largest conservative-run district in the country.
BREAKING: All three of our endorsed candidates in Sarasota County, Florida have WON their elections.
We just flipped the school board from a 3-2 liberal majority to 4-1 conservative.
Congrats to Bridget Ziegler, Robyn Marinelli, and Timothy Enos.
