Democrats are hoping the midterms prove to be such an overwhelming referendum on the president that it produces a “blue wave” that filters down ballots and threatens Republicans running for state seats.
But the intro is just window dressing. The real point comes later when Goss adopts a Philip K. Dick style alternative reality frame to discuss how Hansen and Paradee are vulnerable and what the Senate will be like when Lavelle becomes the leader.
Republicans also are targeting the 10th District in southwestern New Castle County that incumbent Stephanie Hansen of Middletown was able to win in a 2016 special election with the backing of the full Democratic establishment. Hansen is largely on her own this time around and facing a challenge from Republican doctor Christine Metzing of Mount Pleasant.
The most likely person who would lead a Republican-controlled Senate is current Minority Whip Greg Lavelle of Sharpley, who long has been a thorn in the side of Democrats.
The whole thing is strange as fuck.
