[No "blue wave"! GOP celebrates as President Trump remains confident in his=
victory chances.]

"So much for the Blue Wave. As Rachel Maddow put it last night, there weren=
=E2=80=99t even ripples in the pond. The media lost their minds last night =
as it became apparent that this election was not turning out the way they=
=E2=80=99ve claimed it would for months, with a double-digit landslide for =
Joe Biden and coattails that pulled in one battleground victory after anoth=
er, cementing a Democratic majority where ending the filibuster, packing th=
e court, and adding two new states was just a question of when, not if." (T=

=E2=80=A2 As we write this, he presidential race is still waiting on final=
battleground states to be called. At least one state (Wisconsin) is now go=
ing to a recount, and both campaigns are gearing up for legal challenges <h=
ttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-trump-campaigns-legal-fight-key-battl=
egrounds-undeclared> . But there won't be much news until the remaining sta=
tes finalize their vote counts.
=20
=E2=80=A2 President Trump and his campaign ream remain confident in an eve=
ntual victory. As President Trump's campaign manager said today <[link removed]
w.foxnews.com/politics/trump-biden-camps-claim-pathway-victory-remaining-ba=
llots-counted-key-states> : =E2=80=9CWe are confident in our pathway, we ar=
e confident in our math."
=20
=E2=80=A2 Barring any major upsets, Republicans will keep control of the U=
.S. Senate. <[link removed]
> That means Democrats will have invested hundreds of millions of dollars -=
- and failed <[link removed]
arrison-mcconnell-mcgrath/> to unseat Sen. Mitch McConnell, Sen. Joni Ernst=
, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and Sen. Susan Collins -- and many others.
=20
=E2=80=A2 Although Republicans didn't win a House majority (and they weren=
't expected to), they picked up, i.e. won, House seats <[link removed]

=20
As POLITICO Playbook reported this morning <[link removed]
ook> : "TUESDAY WAS AN ABJECT DISASTER for Democrats in Washington. To imag=
ine the amount of soul searching and explaining the party will have to do a=
fter Tuesday is absolutely dizzying. The infighting will be bloody -- as it=
should be. We fielded text after text from Hill Democrats Tuesday night an=
d early Wednesday morning with existential questions about their leadership=
and the direction of their party."
=20
=E2=80=A2 Some House Democrats are reportedly already discussing who might=
challenge Speaker Nancy Pelosi <[link removed]
503-centrist-democrats-talk-leadership-changes-after-negative-election-resu=
lts> for the role of Speaker of the House.
=20
=E2=80=A2 The results aren't good news for the mainstream media or pollste=
rs <[link removed]
didnt-get-the-blue-wave-they-prophesied/> , who overwhelmingly predicted a =
big win for Joe Biden. As Ben Domenech wrote in The Federalist: "The failur=
e of the media in 2016 was written off as a fluke. They wanted to pretend T=
rump sneaked up on them and that there were always warning signs and caveat=
s and so on. This time around, their hubris was even more evident, as they =
confidently projected outcomes that never came."=20

[President Trump's campaign has asked for a recount in Wisconsin, where Joe=
Biden is up by 20,000 votes.]

"President Trump=E2=80=99s campaign said Wednesday it would request a recou=
nt in the state of Wisconsin, where Democratic nominee Joe Biden currently =
has a razor-thin lead. [...] Biden was up by a little more than 20,000 vote=
s in Wisconsin on Wednesday morning. No networks have called the state for =
Biden yet." (The Hill <[link removed]

=E2=80=A2 The first recount of the 2020 presidential race has been request=
ed in Wisconsin. Under state law, a recount can be requested when candidate=
s are within 1% of each other in the final count.
=20
=E2=80=A2 Wisconsin's elections commission director announced the vote tal=
ly late this morning <[link removed]

=20
=E2=80=A2 President Trump won Wisconsin by 22,748 votes in 2016. <[link removed]

[Republicans also win big in state legislative races across the country. "E=
pic underperformance" for Democrats.]

"Instead of big Democratic gains, early election results appear to show Rep=
ublicans picked up enough seats to win control of at least two legislative =
chambers, the New Hampshire state Senate and the Alaska state House, where =
Republicans appear to be in a position to break a bipartisan coalition that=
ran the House for the last two years." (The Hill <[link removed]

=E2=80=A2 Republicans "beat even the most optimistic expectations" <https:=
//www.thehill.com/homenews/campaign/524501-gop-holds-line-in-state-legislat=
ures-dealing-blow-to-democrats> in state legislative races last night.
=20
=E2=80=A2 As Democratic lobbyist Michael Behm told The Hill, with the emph=
asis our own: "It=E2=80=99s an epic underperformance by Democrats. For all =
the money spent, Democrats aren=E2=80=99t going to be able to draw a single=
new congressional district as a result of this election that they hadn=E2=
=80=99t been able to draw before. The Republicans have been able to protect=
every majority that they needed to that draws congressional lines."
=20
=E2=80=A2 This is particularly important heading into redistricting after =
the US Census conducted this year.

[The Vote]

We're 1 day out from Election Day. Here's the news that you'll want to know:

(1) no blue wave! GOP celebrates as President Trump remains confident in victory chances <[link removed]>

(2) Trump campaign asks for a recount in Wisconsin, where Biden leads by 20,000 votes <[link removed]>

(3) Republicans also win big in state legislative races across America. "Epic underperformance" for Democrats. <[link removed]>

[No "blue wave"! GOP celebrates as President Trump remains confident in his victory chances.]

"So much for the Blue Wave. As Rachel Maddow put it last night, there weren’t even ripples in the pond. The media lost their minds last night as it became apparent that this election was not turning out the way they’ve claimed it would for months, with a double-digit landslide for Joe Biden and coattails that pulled in one battleground victory after another, cementing a Democratic majority where ending the filibuster, packing the court, and adding two new states was just a question of when, not if." (The Federalist <[link removed]> )

Read the full story on The Federalist <[link removed]>

• As we write this, he presidential race is still waiting on final battleground states to be called. At least one state (Wisconsin) is now going to a recount, and both campaigns are gearing up for legal challenges <[link removed]> . But there won't be much news until the remaining states finalize their vote counts.

• President Trump and his campaign ream remain confident in an eventual victory. As President Trump's campaign manager said today <[link removed]> : “We are confident in our pathway, we are confident in our math."

• Barring any major upsets, Republicans will keep control of the U.S. Senate. <[link removed]> That means Democrats will have invested hundreds of millions of dollars -- and failed <[link removed]> to unseat Sen. Mitch McConnell, Sen. Joni Ernst, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and Sen. Susan Collins -- and many others.

• Although Republicans didn't win a House majority (and they weren't expected to), they picked up, i.e. won, House seats <[link removed]> .

As POLITICO Playbook reported this morning <[link removed]> : "TUESDAY WAS AN ABJECT DISASTER for Democrats in Washington. To imagine the amount of soul searching and explaining the party will have to do after Tuesday is absolutely dizzying. The infighting will be bloody -- as it should be. We fielded text after text from Hill Democrats Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning with existential questions about their leadership and the direction of their party."

• Some House Democrats are reportedly already discussing who might challenge Speaker Nancy Pelosi <[link removed]> for the role of Speaker of the House.

• The results aren't good news for the mainstream media or pollsters <[link removed]> , who overwhelmingly predicted a big win for Joe Biden. As Ben Domenech wrote in The Federalist: "The failure of the media in 2016 was written off as a fluke. They wanted to pretend Trump sneaked up on them and that there were always warning signs and caveats and so on. This time around, their hubris was even more evident, as they confidently projected outcomes that never came."

[President Trump's campaign has asked for a recount in Wisconsin, where Joe Biden is up by 20,000 votes.]

"President Trump’s campaign said Wednesday it would request a recount in the state of Wisconsin, where Democratic nominee Joe Biden currently has a razor-thin lead. [...] Biden was up by a little more than 20,000 votes in Wisconsin on Wednesday morning. No networks have called the state for Biden yet." (The Hill <[link removed]> )

Read the full story on The Hill <[link removed]>

• The first recount of the 2020 presidential race has been requested in Wisconsin. Under state law, a recount can be requested when candidates are within 1% of each other in the final count.

• Wisconsin's elections commission director announced the vote tally late this morning <[link removed]> , with Joe Biden holding a roughly 20,000-ballot lead.

• President Trump won Wisconsin by 22,748 votes in 2016. <[link removed]>

[Republicans also win big in state legislative races across the country. "Epic underperformance" for Democrats.]

"Instead of big Democratic gains, early election results appear to show Republicans picked up enough seats to win control of at least two legislative chambers, the New Hampshire state Senate and the Alaska state House, where Republicans appear to be in a position to break a bipartisan coalition that ran the House for the last two years." (The Hill <[link removed]> )

Read the full story on The Hill <[link removed]>

• Republicans "beat even the most optimistic expectations" <[link removed]> in state legislative races last night.

• As Democratic lobbyist Michael Behm told The Hill, with the emphasis our own: "It’s an epic underperformance by Democrats. For all the money spent, Democrats aren’t going to be able to draw a single new congressional district as a result of this election that they hadn’t been able to draw before. The Republicans have been able to protect every majority that they needed to that draws congressional lines."

• This is particularly important heading into redistricting after the US Census conducted this year.
