Whereas all the DC-based big dollar, big brained campaign consultants and Chris Coons would have you believe that the path forward is to adopt slightly less mean spirited versions of Republican talking points, actual voters were motivated to vote against Republicans and Republicanism.
In a toss-up district just over the state line Lisa Scheller hammered Susan Wild on inflation and voters said – meh.

She said, “I am not happy, we did not listen to voters in this election and I think we’re going to have a bad night … when voters tell you over and over and over again that they care mostly about the economy, listen to them. Stop talking about democracy being at stake. Voters have told us what they want to hear, and I don’t think Democrats have delivered.”
Note that Rosen was nowhere to be found Tuesday night as voters apparently tossed aside the Republicans’ economic message and responded enthusiastically to the Democratic message on Trump, democracy, and abortion.
