By the end of Tuesday night, voters had delivered a mixed verdict after an extraordinary election cycle that was driven, at least on the surface, by concerns about soaring inflation and rising crime, but played out amid a swirl of other factors.
Republicans on Tuesday gained ground in their push to take control of the House, although Democrats appeared to be holding their own against hard-right GOP candidates in crucial districts as they grasped to defend their narrow majority.
The GOP picked up a critical seat in Virginia Beach after Rep. Elaine Luria of Virginia, a Democrat and member of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, conceded to Jen A. Kiggans, a Republican state senator. “Definitely not a Republican wave, that’s for darn sure,” Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on NBC.
And Democrats captured a new seat in the conservative-leaning exurbs of Raleigh, N.C., after Republicans nominated Bo Hines, a 27-year-old political novice and onetime football phenomenon who won Trump’s endorsement. And in another unexpected development, Rep. Lauren Boebert, the hard-right lawmaker from Colorado, was facing an unexpectedly spirited challenge from Adam Frisch, a former city councilman, in a district that Trump had won by nearly eight points in 2020.
