The “big three” broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC tried on Wednesday morning to resurrect the Democratic Party’s midterm election prospects, using the results of a special election for a Hudson Valley seat in dark blue New York to insist their side has the “momentum” You can also find out more about a “road map”To put up “a fiercer fight”Republicans are being sexist by making abortion their main issue.
CBS MorningsTony Dokoupil, co-host of The Tonight Show, called it “one of the best.” “dramatic results” while the January 6-obsessed congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane pivoted to the special election that’s given Democrats “the road map for midterms strategies” After highlighting the results in Florida, and the fight between member-on-member ultraliberals Carolyn Maloney & Jerry Nadler in Manhattan, I will conclude with these remarks.
“Democrat Pat Ryan won last night against Republican Marc Molinaro in the first competitive House election since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade setting the stage for what could be the last national test case on whether abortion will drive voters in November,”He concluded.
After pointing out that Ryan will only serve a few months before having to face voters again, he framed the midterms not as whether there will be a red wave, but “if Democrats have momentum to preserve majorities in Congress or if Republicans are poised for victory.”
Dokoupil said that while “[h]istorically speaking, it appears that Democrats are poise poised for big losses based on everything you know about politics…there are different issues at play here.”
MacFarlane was clearly in agreement and listed abortion as an example. “a pivotal issue, but the question is: Will it be the pivotal issue for voters” “transcend the kitchen table grocery price, gas price issue in every district” Ryan, and his friends. “abortion rights-first…platform.”
Dokoupil closed their discussion and offered more positive vibes to Dokoupil’s co-hosts.
Democrats seem to be optimistic and believe there is some room for improvement if they nominate experienced, moderate candidates who are not Trump loyalists.
Over on NBC’s Today, co-host Hoda Kotb trumpeted “some rather unexpected election results” With one being “a Democrat pulling out a big win in a key swing district.”
Chief White House correspondent Kristen Welker called Ryan’s win “the biggest takeaway of” the night and proof “Democrats could put on a fiercer fight than expected to hold onto power with abortion at the center of it all” (click “expand”):
WELKER What does this mean for the future? The implications for the fall? The last round of primary elections in Florida and New York offered clues before November. New York’s surprise night also provided important information.
RYAN: I — I — I honestly can’t believe it. It is impossible for me to believe.
WELKER – Democrat Pat Ryan won in a special vote in a bellwether district, which has predicted every presidential race since 1996. That race attracted both parties. Ryan ran on the issue of abortion rights. Democrats are hoping Ryan’s campaign can get them more votes in this election, following the Supreme Court’s decision. Roe v. Wade decision. Republican Marc Molinaro remained focused on two key Republican issues, inflation and criminal justice[.]
(….)
WELKER Maxwell Frost (25 years old, Afro-Cuban) won the primary in Florida. He will also be more than 60-years younger if he is elected in the fall. Hoda?
KOTB: Wow. There is a generational gap.
In the 8:00 a.m. Eastern hour, Welker repeated many of the same lines, downplaying crime and inflation as “core Republican issues.”
ABC’s Good Morning AmericaFocused more on Maloney and Nadler races, Florida Democratic primaries and, similar to Welker’s oblique over the possibility of a liberal Gen Z member reaching the House,
Rachel Scott, Liberal congressional correspondent, decried the race as Ryan. “defining the polls, winning his race in a key swing district”How to have “made abortion rights a central focus of his campaign.”
“This was a big test for Democrats who are hoping that this becomes a driving issue and mobilizes voters in November,” she added.
Tuesday morning’s push to reenergize liberals by the networks was made possible thanks to advertisers such as Amazon (on ABC), Citi (on NBC), and Neutrogena (on CBS). Follow the links to see their contact information at the MRC’s Conservatives Fight Back page.
