Lemon: Results at the Ballot Box, Down to the Wire Battles Are Signs of a Democratic Party ‘Meltdown’

EXCERPT:

LEMON: “A Republican sweep in Virginia, the governor there, lieutenant governor and the attorney general, and a down-to-the-wire battle for every last vote in New Jersey. But the signs were all there, as I was saying to Chris. The signs of a meltdown, COVID anger, Democratic infighting and ineptitude, misunderstanding of what suburban voters really care about, like education. The lesson Democrats should take from this election? Voters are speaking loud and clear. People don't care about the back and forth on Capitol Hill. They don't really care that much about the sausage making. They want to see things done. They care about the sluggish economy, they care about high gas prices, they care about expensive groceries, about crime, about the supply chain, concerns about the rights of parents, what they have to say about their kids, what their kids are being taught in schools, whether you believe it or not, but that's a real concern, whether some of that was built on misinformation still a real concern. Not to mention what seems to be a never-ending pandemic four months after the President declared that it would be over by July. That's what people care about right now.”
