The Red Wave That Wasn’t – The American Conservative

I woke up this morning in London hoping — not just hoping, but expecting — to see news of a Red Wave having crashed upon the shores of an America sick of the woke Democrats. I was disappointed. The Red Wave talk turned out to be bullshit. As I write, we still don’t know the outcome of control of the Senate. We do know, though, that the Trump-endorsed candidate in Pennsylvania was beaten by a brain-damaged Democrat. That tells you something. That tells you a lot, actually.

Well, look, the two races I cared most about — DeSantis’s Florida governor re-election bid, and J.D. Vance’s Senate race in Ohio — both went the way I wanted. Senator Vance! I’m old enough to remember this 2016 TAC interview that broke TAC’s server and launched J.D.’s book into the stratosphere. We became friends after that. Here’s an interview I did with J.D. right after his conversion to Catholicism. I can testify that J.D. Vance is a good man, and I think he will be a great senator — and even president one of these days. God is with him!
