Considering the strong likelihood that Democrats could have been swamped and suffered major losses in the Midterm Elections of 2022, we must be happy, overall, at the results.
But there is a loss of some very talented and decent Democrats, who were unable to overcome their opponents.
This includes the following gubernatorial candidates:
Charlie Crist in Florida
Stacey Abrams in Georgia
Nan Whaley in Ohio
Beto O’Rourke in Texas
This includes the following Senatorial nominees:
Val Demings in Florida
Michael Franken in Iowa
Charles Booker in Kentucky
Cheri Beasley in North Carolina
Tim Ryan in Ohio
Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin
Also, in House races, incumbents won, except for a few who lost, including
Sean Patrick Maloney in New York
Elaine Luria in Virginia (a member of the January 6 House Committee)
