Chair Maloney lauds midterm wins for common sense’ Republicans following ‘damage’ from the ‘Trump Years // Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), argued that 2022 midterm victories by “common sense” candidates – which he acknowledged also included Republicans – shows that the American people still believe in democracy after the damage done by the Trump years. In a historic defeat , Maloney admitted defeat to Republican nominee Mike Lawler to control New York’s 17th district. He then answered a question about the message that he believed American voters were sending on Tuesday. “I don’t believe the American people have abandoned democracy. Maloney stated that despite all the headwinds and all the damage caused by the Trump years and the pandemic, there is still a beating heart for American democracy. “And I believe you saw it last night. They won’t give up on people with good values and common sense. We don’t have any monopoly in this area. He said that Democrats are not perfect. “And there are many good Republicans, and Independents out there. But I believe enough of us, as the president stated in his inaugural, still believe that this project is possible and that the American people can be proud to have fought with us.” CONSERVATIVE TEWITTER READY FOR CROWN DESANTIS, ‘HEAD of THE PARTY’ AFTER DECISIVE EXECUTIVE ELECTION. Trump is said to be considering a possible announcement next week regarding a run for 2024. Trump-backed Senate candidate Dr. Oz suffered a defeat in Pennsylvania’s key battlegrounds. This contrasts with the successful re-election bids of Republicans Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Georgia Governor. Brian Kemp, who didn’t stress doubts about the 2020 election results, has prompted conservative Twitter to consider DeSantis the new leader. Maloney stated that it was “the honor and a lifetime” for him to work with Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker. He said, “She is a remarkable figure in American politics.” The House majority is still in doubt, so Maloney and Pelosi will host a noon call Wednesday to discuss the election results with the Democratic caucus. Maloney conceded that the outcome of at least a few races was unclear. Pelosi and Maloney will host a noon call Wednesday to discuss election outcomes with the Democratic caucus. “We hope to have achieved the high watermark of some anger and division in the way we have dealt this entire cycle, from January 6th through today. Maloney stated that they hope for better things for America because that’s what all Americans want. “We are still trying. Fair people and responsible observers should be able to see that it will take time for all races to be understood and their outcomes. Maloney also praised Democratic President Biden during his speech. “We are proud of our president. We are proud of the values that we stand for. “We’re proud of our legislative achievements,” Maloney stated of Democrats. “We are proud of our candidates, and our supporters. We will continue to work to get you all the results as quickly as possible in a fair and honest manner that follows the law. Because that’s what the American people want. Maloney said he spoke to Biden earlier Wednesday, and that the president “deserves real praise for tackling the crises he found when it came to office.” Maloney stated that “he’s not perfect.” “But I will tell you what, he is a good, decent man doing valuable things for the American people. He should be encouraged by last night’s meeting, that despite all the opposition, despite all the hatred, anger, and lies he has faced, and all the immovable obstacles that he has encountered, he is making progress.” According to the Cook Political Report, Maloney’s defeat was a shock because a sitting House campaign committee chair hadn’t lost reelection since 1992, when Guy Vander Jagt, NRCC Chair, lost his primary. The report states that a sitting chair has not lost an election since 1980 when DCCC Chair Jim Corman was defeated.
