The Day After: The Negatives
9 Nov 2022
Listen to Clay & Buck’s post-Election Day show in the audio clip above. They stare straight in the face of where the Red Wave they expected failed to wash ashore.
The biggest problem in lot of these states:
Too many Democrat voters
Simple as that

A deeply disappointing night for the GOP
Other than the massive Florida miracle, it was the partisan status quo in every contested race
Biden will clearly run for re-election. The blue wall held.
The big question is, who will be the Republican nominee for 2024?

In Nashville, Clay’s wife compared the Clay & Buck show event to being at the Super Bowl party of a team that loses. Ouch! But it was still a lot of fun.

Washington Sen. Patty Murray was reelected for a sixth term, defeating Republican challenger Tiffany Smiley. The Democratic stalwart prevailed in a campaign in which she repeatedly said Smiley was too extreme for the state.https://t.co/Wcm3OxFVZz

It wasn’t enough to win, but @leezeldin 47 percent is the best showing for an R gov candidate in NY State in 20 years, and will help flip a few House seats.

Capt. Hung Cao in Virginia and Rep. Mayra Flores also fell short in the House.
