JUST IN: CDC Director Walensky tests positive for Covid ~ a month after receiving the new bivalent booster.

The booster product was tested only on eight mice, and all eight mice contracted COVID.

Here's a few encouraging midterm signals:

(1) 2021 Virginia and New Jersey elections results.

Off-year contests have a solid history of predicting a partisan swing the following year. Example: GOP governor wins in 1993, and 2010 foreshadowed massive sweeps in 1994 and 2010.


(2) Voter registration trends, a measure of voter enthusiasm and GOTV efforts, show massive momentum to the right.

Across the country from Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, West Virginia, and even Oregon, DEM are hemorrhaging badly while REP are picking up voters in droves.


(3) Primary turnout data, which has historically been a reliable indicator, shows an enormous swing to the right.

GOP turnout is up 19% over 2018, while DEM turnout is down 7%.


(4) After weeks of a dead heat, REP captured a commanding lead this week in the generic congressional ballot.

In 2014, a 6-point REP popular victory produced a 13-seat gain in the House. In 2010, a 7-point win led to REP picking up 63 seats.


(5) Party affiliation is shifting REP. Gallup's "Do you consider yourself a REP, a DEM, or INDY?" shows REP leads DEM by 6 points.

One year ago, it was tied.

TRUMP: "The Democrats will defund the police, the Republicans will defund the cartels."

The Republican establishment would rather lose gracefully to Democrats than allow some Republicans, like Blake Master, to win and have a seat at the table.

Note: The figures above are based ONLY on state-reported data. In June, The AP analyzed the rolls for 42 states AND used statistical modeling to determine party affiliation. The AP's research showed that "more than 1 million" voters had switched to the GOP in the last year.
