As October Ends, the Midterm Elections’ Red Wave Continues to Gather

If you’re a Democrat, the New York Times cheered you up this morning, by unveiling poll results showing Mark Kelly ahead of Blake Masters in Arizona, Raphael Warnock ahead of Herschel Walker in Georgia, and John Fetterman ahead of Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania. Perhaps most unnervingly for Republicans, the Times survey found Republican Adam Laxalt in a tie with Catherine Cortez Masto.
