The 2022 midterm elections were held on November 8, 2022, to determine membership in the 118th Congress for all seats in the United States House of Representatives in addition to Class III U.S. senators. A number of statewide elections were also be held, including gubernatorial races.
The Republican Party won 51.1% of the total vote for the House of Representatives, totaling 52,914,952, while the Democrats won only 47%, totaling 48,717,352.[1] In a repudiation of liberals including Biden and Nancy Pelosi, Republicans won control of the House.
The top U.S. Senate races were in Nevada, Georgia and Arizona, where the party that wins two out of those three races will take control of the Senate and the outcomes were unresolved as of the day after the election. More than $250 million was spent by the weekend before the election in Georgia alone, a third of which was by the candidates.[2]
As of November 15, 2022, left-leaning Politico admitted that the GOP was merely one seat away from winning the House. The Dropbox Dems would have to win 14 out of 14 uncalled seats to continue its control of that all-important chamber.[3]
Tens of millions of dollars were spent by Big Weed to legalize recreational cannabis in the Midwest, but three of four states there voted it down by landslide margins: Arkansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota. This stunning defeat of Big Weed may effectively ends its movement to legitimize marijuana nationwide. It narrowly passed in only Missouri and also, by a wider margin, in ultra-liberal Maryland.
Overall, more than a billion dollars were spent on ballot initiatives, including more than $50 million on the pro-abortion side of several initiatives on that issue.[4]
The Democrat majority in Congress was ousted by voters despite their ballot harvesting and vastly outspending Republican candidates. The liberal FiveThirtyEight lamented that most Republicans running against the election fraud of 2020 would win.[5] Only in the final week did FiveThirtyEight begin to predict a GOP takeover of the U.S. Senate, based on a prediction that Herschel Walker and Paul Laxalt would oust Dem incumbents.
In 2022, the four incumbent Democrat senators most vulnerable to defeat are: Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Maggie Hassan (D-NH). FiveThirtyEight posts a sophisticated estimate who is mostly like to prevail in each midterm race.[6]
This midterm election was the most expensive midterm election ever, surpassing the 2018 midterms by more than $50 million in spending.[7]
RealClearPolitics observes that polling that this time historically underestimate GOP performance, and after factoring this into account predicts a Republican takeover of the Senate by gaining 2 seats.[8] Other forecasters, such as The Economist, predict a 51-49 victory by Democrats.[9] Fivethirtyeight was predicting a Dem majority in the Senate based on these midterm elections, or at least a continuation of the status quo, but beginning October 5, 2022, it began to backpedal on the confidence of its prediction. Nearly daily in early October the likelihood of the GOP winning control of the Senate inched up in the forecast by Fivethirtyeight, and by nine days before the election Fivethirtyeight says the outcome is a 49%-51% dead heat likelihood (GOP-Dem) of which party gains control.[10]
American Greatness explains the discrepancy between RCP and FiveThirtyEight:[11]
“ | FiveThirtyEight’s projections appear to be favoring Democrats for two main reasons: They don’t seem to take into account recent years’ polling biases favoring Democrats. And they don’t appear to give any weight to the notion that most late-deciding voters will likely move against the party of an unpopular president. ... RCP’s projections, on the other hand, take into account the degree to which polling five weeks out from previous three federal elections was off, and in which direction it erred. | ” |
The FTX crypto slush fund run by Sam Bankman-Fried and his MIT college buddies laundered money for Ukraine into nearly $40 million worth of campaign donations for Democrats in the 2022 Midterm elections.[13] In 2022 Joe Biden and the Democrats pushed through $65 billion in funding for Ukraine, using US taxpayer money. Internationally, over $100 billion has been donated to Ukraine, according to www.Devex.com which has compiled worldwide donations and grants to Ukrainian. The corrupt Zelensky regime partnered with a corrupt crypto slush fund to take tax payer dollars from corrupt US government officials and funneled them into the hands of corrupt Democrat candidates to win rigged 2022 Midterm elections.[14]
Early polling reported by Politico surveyed the Top issues on voters’ minds:[17]
The top two puppets of Leftist donors, mostly from California, are Senators Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), as more than $115 million in leftwing donations have poured into Warnock's struggling campaign.[2]
In less than 18 months of the Biden regime and Democrat control of both houses, inflation soared to a 40 year eating into paychecks and impoverishing the American people. Personal savings has dropped from a record $4.8 trillion during President Trump's last year in office to $628 billion.[18]
A number of "moderate" Democrats at one point vowed to oppose a massive pork bill pushed by Biden if it did not their demands to restrain spending and potential deficits; they broke their pledged assertions in voting for passage despite their parameters not being met.[19]
The Democratic Party leads in corrupt municipal governance. 20 of the 20 Most Dangerous Cities in America are run by Democrats. Most dangerous cities are determined by the rate of violent crime per 100,000 people.[20] Most have not had Republican mayors or Republican controlled city councils and school boards in half a century. Cheatsheet.com lists the 15 most corrupt cities in America. Thirteen of the 15 mayors are Democrats.[21]
While Democrat politicians have pumped money into various "urban issues", "projects", and "affairs" over decades, none would dare live in these segregated "urban areas" or take their friends and relatives on a tour visiting the city. Much of the money allocated ends up in front organizations for voter registration drives.[22]
The situation is compounded by White Democrat opposition to improving schools and educational opportunities for Blacks and minorities.[23]
The defund the police movement, no-cash bail laws, and progressive prosecutors led to a crime wave across cities, especially in historically Democrat-controlled cities. Black people represented a massive share of murder victims in six major cities through the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, which itself saw a large crime surge, according to data analyzed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.[24]
Parents became more concerned about transgender indoctrination and brainwashing in public schools, as well as child grooming by public school teachers. The Biden FBI has placed parents who speak at or attend school board meetings under surveillance, including electronic monitoring, as suspected domestic terrorists.
An estimated 117,000 migrants crossed the border in February 2021 at the going rate for smuggling humans of $10,000 each, totaling well over $1.1 billion for the cartels and human trafficking networks.[25] 150,000 in March,[26] and 178,000 in April 2021, a two-decade high for a single month. 17,000 of those in April were unaccompanied children.[27] People from Yemen, Iran and Sri Lanka were crossing the border, as well as people on the terrorist watch list.[28] Democrat Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar criticized the junta's mishandling of the crisis.[29] Cuellar, whose district sits on the Mexican border where the Biden border crisis was occurring, advocated for the re-institution of President Donald Trump's Remain in Mexico program for asylum seekers.[30] In January 2022 the Biden FBI ransacked Cuellar's home.[31]
It is estimated that about 12,000 criminal illegal aliens per month will not be deported from the United States throughout the existence of the Biden/Harris regime.[32] These illegals can vote unchallenged under the Democrats "For the People Act".[33] Biden also canceled the Trump era Operation Talon which focused on deporting illegal child sex traffickers and sexual predators.[34]
The Biden junta further scrapped the “public charge” rule—a government policy that sought to limit admissions of immigrants likely to become reliant on government benefits.[35]
Following the 2021 Capitol protests, Democrats accused President Trump of inciting an unarmed "insurrection". Ten mostly establishment-leaning Republicans joined House Democrats in passing an impeachment resolution,[36] which the Senate voted on after Trump left office. By election day, election fraud protesters were still being held in the DC gulag on trespassing charges.
In September 2021, a left-wing group sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission which suggested murdering Republicans to "reclaim our democracy."[37] In Florida, a volunteer canvasser for Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio was beaten mercilessly by liberal fascists requiring facial reconstruction surery.
The Department of Homeland Security admitted in June 2022 that Dominion Voting Systems have inherent vulnerabilities easily manipulated by local election officials.[39]
Citizens who posted comments about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election on social media were subject to FBI harassment, arrest and imprisonment. Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote, a voter integrity and poll watching project, was arrested by the Biden Justice Department and thrown in jail 8 days before election day while early voting was in progress.[40][41]
The Mar-a-Lago raid was a combination of a politically motivated stunt in advance of the 2022 Midterm elections and an effort to cover up documentary evidence of FBI wrongdoing in possession of President Donald Trump. It also attempted to discredit President Trump as a candidate for president in the 2024 presidential election. The warrant served had no basis in law under the Presidential Records Act, the Federal Records Act, or the Espionage Act as alleged by the Department of Justice-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). During the FBI break-in, the FBI stole privileged attorney-client materials outside the scope of the search warrant, among other personal property.[42]
Glenn Greenwald observed:
"Involvement of the intelligence community in the domestic activities of U.S. citizens is one of the most dangerous breaches of civil liberties and democratic order the U.S. Government can perpetrate. It was after World War II when the CIA, the NSA and other security state agencies that wield immense and unlimited powers in the dark were created in the name of fighting the Cold War. Legal and institutional prohibitions on wielding that massive machinery against the American public were central to the always-dubious claim that this security behemoth that operates completely in the dark was compatible with democracy. As the ACLU noted, “in its 1947 charter, the CIA was prohibited from spying against Americans, in part because President Truman was afraid that the agency would engage in political abuse.”[43] |
CNET reported the following back in 2008:
“Months before the Oklahoma City bombing took place, Biden introduced another bill called the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995. It previewed the 2001 Patriot Act by allowing secret evidence to be used in prosecutions, expanding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and wiretap laws, creating a new federal crime of ‘terrorism’ that could be invoked based on political beliefs, permitting the U.S. military to be used in civilian law enforcement, and allowing permanent detention of non-U.S. citizens without judicial review. The Center for National Security Studies said the bill would erode ‘constitutional and statutory due process protections’ and would ‘authorize the Justice Department to pick and choose crimes to investigate and prosecute based on political beliefs and associations.’[44] |
In June 2019, Joe Biden boasted of his "civility" with white supremacist senator James Eastland several decades ago:[45]
“ | I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland. He never called me ‘boy,’ He always called me ‘son.’ | ” |
Following the racially insensitive remarks, many members in the Congressional Black Caucus, who have been known to erroneously accuse Trump of white supremacy, defended Biden[46] and later endorsed him in the 2020 presidential election. Biden has also defended neo-Confederates, calling them "very fine people":[47]
“ | I, too, heard that speech and, for the public listening to this, the senator [Howell Heflin] made a very moving and eloquent speech. As a son of the Confederacy, acknowledging that it was time to change and yield to a position that Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun raised on the Senate floor, not granting a federal charter to an organization made up of many fine people who continue to display the Confederate flag as a symbol. | ” |
—Biden, 1993 |
In late August 2021, Biden referred to black adviser Cedric Richmond by a racially derogatory term:[48]
“ | I’m here with my senior adviser and, uh, boy who knows Louisiana very well, man. And New Orleans. Cedric Richmond. | ” |
—Biden, August 2021 |
The term "boy" has historically been used by Southern white supremacists to insult black men by insinuating that they were unequal, and to this day is considered a racial epithet when used in such a context.[49]
On September 24, 2021, House Democrats passed a pro-abortion bill in response to the refusal of the United States Supreme Court to block the Texas Heartbeat Act.[50] In a demonstration of the unified far-leftism, only one House Democrat (Henry Cuellar of Texas) opposed the measure. Cuellar became the target of FBI arrest and was defeated in the primaries.
With the Supreme Court overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, leftist violence erupted as Democrat Leader Cuck Schumer promised and assured. A leftwing insurrectionist was arrested for the attempted murder of Justice Brett Kavanaugh after a progressive domestic extremist group put bounties on several Supreme Court Justices heads.[51]
Chris Christie predicted that the Dems. will regret focusing that much on this as the issue.[52]
In 2021, White House officeholder Joseph R. Biden established a commission via executive order that would consider court packing in retaliation against the successful nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court.[53][54] Court packing has traditionally been[55] – and still is[56] – highly unpopular among the majority of Americans.
Funding to protect Ukraine's borders while ignoring America's borders, as well as funding for Ukrainian law enforcement while defunding American police helped fuel inflation.
Biden, given the nickname "Fool of Kabul" over the botched Afghanistan withdrawal which led to a Taliban rise, has sunken the chances of so-called "moderate Democrats" in swing congressional districts being re-elected in 2022,[57] a fact even CNN admits.[58]
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken under the administration of present White House officeholder Biden has faced an impeachment resolution introduced by Republican representatives over disastrous policies pertaining to Afghanistan.[59]
After the disgraceful pullout from Afghanistan, abandonong $83 billion worth of equipment to terrorists, 57 House members -- all Republican -- voted against the $40 Billion aid to perpetuate war in Ukraine bill, HR 7691.[60] The original bill, S. 3522 (The Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022, was introduced in the Senate on January 19, 2022, more than 5 weeks before the Russian incursion into Ukraine began.[61] Only $6 billion will actually make it to Ukraine.[62] The bill pays the salaries and pensions of Ukrainian government officials, effectively making Ukraine a U.S. colony. The United States would have to borrow the $40 billion from the Peoples Republic of China in order to fund the bill.[63]
One of the first actions of the Ukrainian parliament after receiving the aid was to vote themselves a 70% payraise.[64] A CBS News documentary found that only 30% of U.S. aid sent to Ukraine ever made it to the front lines.[65][66]
In addition to paying the salaries of the corrupt civil service system, the Ukrainian government, terminated social security pensions for Ukrainian citizens of Russian origin.[67]
In May 2021, House Democrats voted against a measure sponsored by Texas Republican Tony Gonzales for Israel's Iron Dome, which has saved thousands of lives.[68] Two weeks later, a number of them flip-flopped and claimed to support the military defensive system.[69]
On September 22, 2021, several far-left progressive Democrats in the House worked to strip funding for the Iron Dome.[70] They were ultimately outmaneuvered when the House included the funding in a separate bill.[71] Following their defeat, the group of anti-Zionist representatives raged and seethed.[72] Rashida Tlaib falsely accused Israel of apartheid and was condemned by fellow Democrat Ted Deutch for anti-Semitism.[73]
The Democrats who attempted to strip Iron Dome funding were Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Betty McCollum, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Pramila Jayapal, and Ilhan Omar.[70]
On September 21, 2021, Biden stated that a return to the Iran nuclear deal would be likely.[74] Only several days later, a watchdog report emerged asserting that Iran failed to comply with a United Nations agreement regarding nuclear weapon inspections.[75]
In an interview, titling it: "Miami-Dade: A 'Red' County?" - South FL's CBS' Jim DeFede[76] said that the Democrats might have made a mistake, assuming that only the older generation of Cubans vote Republican but the younger generation will just all vote Democrat.
Answering to the possibility of Miami Dade County turning Red, Rene Garcia, as well as about the Dems. pointing to having previously a few extremists in the party, like the Proud Boys.
"We are the most diverse [Republican group] in Florida and maybe the most diverse group in the country." Pointing to the left not denouncing the Woke ideology. "I will denounce any fascist here. There is no room for any hate. They [the keft] try to paint us as fascists.. I have denounced them. We are not about that. We are quite the opposite.. The Democrats have taken the Hispanic group for granted..." He also mentioned areas Surfside (electing recently GOP) and Sunny Isles turning red.
On Nov 1, 2022, Biden cane to S. Florida. [77]
CBS Miami's Jim DeFede explained, that Biden comes as Crist is far behind in the polls.
DeSantis reacted that "misery loves company."
In a piece titled: Lefty Washington State Is Now 'Ground Zero for Wave Election Upset' in Senate Race, it was reported at the end of Oct 2022:[78]
Things are getting more interesting in the U.S. Senate race between that barnacle-encrusted boat anchor, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), and veterans’ activist and nurse Tiffany Smiley, the Republican. RealClearPolitics has moved the race from “leans Democrat” to “toss-up.” One poll predicts that “right now, the Washington Senate race has become ground zero for a wave election upset.”
There are six Senate races considered to be toss-ups, half currently held by one side or the other:
An additional two Senate races are close but seem to favor one side:

Stephanie Murphy, the current liberal Democrat congresswoman from Florida's 7th congressional district, is running for re-election to another House term after initially intending to seek one of the state's U.S. Senate seats against Marco Rubio.[80] Among her Republican challengers vying for the party nomination with the hopes of unseating her, Brady Duke criticized her record of refusing to buck with Democrat-instituted disasters:[81]
“ | Stephanie Murphy won’t stand up to AOC or President Biden who want to raise taxes and enact radical policies that hurt Central Florida families. I fought to protect American families in combat, and I’ll do so again in Congress. | ” |
Indeed, FiveThirtyEight reports that Murphy is in lock step with Biden.[82] An important issue in the race is the Fall of Kabul instigated by Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Murphy refused to blame the Biden Administration over the decision,[83] while Duke heavily criticized along with other Navy SEALs.[84]
Incumbent left-wing Democrat Jared Golden is running for re-election and challenged by Republican predecessor Bruce Poliquin. The election is viewed by "experts" as interesting due to Poliquin's timing in attempting to make a political comeback.[85] Poliquin was ultimately defeated for re-election in the 2018 midterms due to Maine's then-newly enacted ranked-choice voting, an undemocratic system which eliminates competition by third-party candidates.
Golden has on occasions bucked his party's far-leftism, such as voting against the "Build Back Better Act," a massive spending bill.[86] Although labeled as a "centrist" by some sources,[87] such misleading designation is merely by the already-extreme standards of the Democratic Party, given his track record in the 117th Congress in voting with Nancy Pelosi 87% of the time.[88]
Tomasz "Tom" Malinowski, the current Democrat U.S. representative from New Jersey's 7th congressional district, is facing re-election in a district he only won by one percentage point in 2020. He is a noted liberal hypocrite who advocates transparency while failing to disclose shady stock trades,[89] in addition to having a history of fighting on behalf of terrorist Taliban leaders[90] and convicted sex offenders.[91]
Malinowski will potentially face a rematch of the 2020 election in a challenge by Republican state legislator Thomas H. "Tom" Kean, Jr., who stated:[92]
“ | New Jersey deserves a Congressman who will serve with integrity and always put their best interests first. We will defeat Tom Malinowski. | ” |
—Thomas "Tom" Kean, Jr., November 2021 |
On Oct 13, 2022, CNN came out with a poll, that in competitive districts, Republicans have an edge.[93]
Florida Republicans voting by mail at higher clip than Democrats ahead of early voting. (Oct/2022)[94]
The Cook Political Report lists the various races by "toss-up" or "leans Republican, etc.[95] As of September 18, 2022, Cook lists a total of 58 House races as particularly competitive, categorizing them either as "toss-up" or "lean" to one side or the other.[95]
The Media Research Center, said (Oct/2022) that Google favors Dems over GOP 83% of the time.[96]
Winner: Ron DeSantis - Ron DeSantis may have had the best night of any Republican in the country. The Florida governor won what was once a swing state by a margin of nearly 20 points, and won base Democratic counties — or at least what were once base Democratic counties — like Palm Beach and Miami Dade.
Lefty CNN, upset at DeSantis big rise, tried to group NYPost and FoxNews into one under a supposed "Murdoch" umbrella,[106] while the truth is these media outlets, writers are separately independent in its opinions.
"Democratic meddling in GOP primaries paid off in a big way on Election Day." Democrats spent more than $40 million to boost Republicans in primaries for key midterm races.[107]
Fox News reported that "Conservatives point finger at Trump after GOP’s underwhelming election results."[108] The WSJ blamed Donald Trump for GOP's losses.[109] Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., blamed disappointing GOP election results on 'Trump hangover.'[110]
Responding to some Twitter users about the midterm elections, Elon Musk joked that it's "borderline illegal" to support Republicans in San Francisco.[111]
When asked, “How much do you trust that America’s elections are fair and accurate?” only 43.2% of respondents said they “strongly trust” the election system…A majority, 56.8%, expressed concerns about the system, with 17% saying they “somewhat trust” it, 17.9% saying they “somewhat distrust” it, and 21.9% saying they “strongly distrust it””[112] “The rise of woke politics has undermined public confidence in the brass...The Reagan Institute releases an annual survey of public attitudes on national defense, and this year only 48% reported having “a great deal of confidence” in the U.S. military...That’s down from 70% in 2018”[113] and “A study titled "Trend in Loaded Handgun Carrying Among Adult Handgun Owners in the United States, 2015‒2019" found the number of law-abiding US adults carrying handguns nearly doubled from 9 million in 2015 to 16 million in 2019”[114]
And so, I think the Democrats who made this a centerpiece, and as I’ve traveling, I’ve seen a lot of ads about this from Democratic candidates, I think, are going to look back on it and say they should have come up with a different strategy.
Florida Democrats are hoping Biden can help boost base turnout — but also to drive a message that vulnerable Democrats can amplify nationwide.
...after focusing relentlessly on crime, Zeldin took advantage of a Hochul campaign that didn’t realize exactly how tight of a race it had on its hands until an internal poll showed her under 50 percent and the Republican within four points with just three weeks to go.And now New York Republicans say they see a path forward to end their long years in the wilderness...
As results come in, New York appears to be an outlier, one of the few places where Republicans performed better than they did in 2020. The GOP looks set to make major gains in the State Legislature, ending the Democratic supermajorities in both houses in Albany, and may flip enough congressional seats in New York alone to retake the majority, especially since a special master, and not the state Democrats, drew the redistricting lines...
The reasons, strategists on both sides of the aisle say, are manifold. For one thing, New York has a large population of Orthodox Jewish voters. Those voters swung hard against Democrats over issues like Israel and religious education, which may have contributed to the surprising loss of Sean Patrick Maloney, the head of the Democratic Campaign Congressional Committee, in a seat just north of New York City, and to the defeat of Democratic state legislators in the same area.
She is also the first Republican to flip the seat that has been held by Democrats since 2009. Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer has made history as Oregon’s first Hispanic member of Congress, according to NBC News projections.
Chavez-DeRemer, a former suburban mayor, won her race against Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner to represent the state’s 5th Congressional District.
Democrats spent more than $40 million to boost Republicans in primaries for key midterm races.. Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle. All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race. Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him...
