Republicans in Washington exulted in Republican Glenn Youngkin's victory in the Virginia governor's race Tuesday over former Governor Terry McAuliffe and the very close race in New Jersey, which has yet to be called.
"Today is a wakeup call for Washington Democrats," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday, "to abandon the partisanship, extremist agenda of Washington-based programs that cost trillions of dollars and that nobody even wants." He went on to predict bigger losses for Democrats in the midterms next year.
"It'll be more than 70 Democrats that will be competitive," McCarthy said of the House races next year. "There's many that are going to lose their races, based on walking off a cliff — from Nancy Pelosi pushing them."
