In reporting that the Republicans will not be able to take the Senate, mainstream and social media—including Fox News—sound almost gleeful.
To the millions whose cast votes were lost one way or another, the media’s post election glee is louder than the childish cackling of an ever-giggling Kamala Harris.
The media helped keep the masses in suspense (which some would call HOSTAGE) ever since Nov. 8 Midterm Election Day. Four slow-crawling days later, the suspense of an interminably slow vote count ended Hope, with races called on Saturday (Nevada) sliding out of Republican control.
"Democrats are projected to maintain control of the Senate after emerging victorious in key races in battleground states, extinguishing Republican hopes of flipping both congressional chambers.” (Epoch Times, Nov. 12, 2022)
“Though the GOP is still projected to gain control of the House of Representatives, the Democrats kept the Senate after winning battles in Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
“Democrats will have a majority again in the Senate! This election is a victory and vindication for Democrats, our agenda and our accomplishments, and for America and the American people,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement after the Nevada race was called late Nov. 12.
“Democrats will have at least 50 seats in the 100-seat chamber. Vice President Kamala Harris is president of the upper chamber, giving her the ability to cast tiebreaking votes. The Georgia Senate runoff has been scheduled for December.
“In Arizona, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) held off venture capitalist Blake Masters, according to the projections. In Nevada, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) beat former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt. And in Pennsylvania, Lt. Gov John Fetterman prevailed over Dr. Mehmet Oz.
“Republicans did win several closely watched races. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) beat Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes. Author J.D. Vance trumped Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio). And Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) bested former North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Cheri Beasley. (Epoch Times)
“But Republicans needed to win more races to flip control of the Senate, which the Democrats currently control despite it being 50-50 because of Harris’s ability.
“The final outcome, as of now, means that Schumer will remain majority leader when the next Congress is seated in January 2023. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is expected to keep his position, though some senators have said he should step aside due to the failure to secure a majority.
“Republicans had hopes of picking up seats in a number of states, including Nevada and New Hampshire, but failed to capitalize on low approval ratings for President Joe Biden.
“In New Hampshire, Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) held onto her seat over retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc.

"Republicans retained control over many seats that were already held by GOP senators, five of whom—including Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.)—are set to retire.
“Fetterman won the seat being vacated by Toomey.
“Missouri’s Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt won the seat that Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) is vacating. Blunt also chose not to run for another term.
“Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) won the election to succeed Sen. Patrich Leahy (D-Vt.), the only Democrat who is retiring.
“A special election held for the seat that Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) is leaving in the middle of his term was won by Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).
“Incumbents from both parties also held on in other close races.
Meanwhile, to the victor go the spoils
"Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) won against Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.). Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) beat former CIA officer Evan McMullin.
“Other senators who won re-election are John Boozman (R-Ark.), Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Todd Young (R-Ind.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), John Kennedy (R-La.) Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Schumer, John Hoeven (R-N.D.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), John Thune (R-S.D.), and Patty Murray (D-Wash.)
“In Alaska, former Alaska Department of Administration Commissioner Kelly Tshibaka, a Republican, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) are the top two vote-getters for the seat that Murkowski holds. The winner has not yet been declared.”
Meanwhile, to the victor go the spoils.
When Schumer boasted: “This election is a victory and vindication for Democrats, our agenda and our accomplishments, and for America and the American people,” after the Nevada race was called for Catherine Cortez Masto, he might have will have said, get ready for endless coming lockdowns; get ready for a cold and hungry winter without any hope for change.
They are already out there celebrating what they see as the ‘Death of Hope’
It happened because we’re all now STUCK ON STEAL. Election Steal.
For the demonic Democrats, it started back in 2020 with a steal plan perfected in 2022.
They count on the majority of MAGA advocates hunkering down in their homes believing that all is now lost and will be forever.
They are already out there celebrating what they see as the ‘Death of Hope’.
Their pals in the media will remain merrier than Christmas in celebrating the Democrat win.
The masses survived the horrors thrown their way for the last two, going on three years, and will survive whatever is coming their way now.
The masses will survive whatever comes their way because the Creator’s Hope lives forever in human hearts.
Brace for whatever is coming, knowing firmly that “Hope springs eternal in the human heart”.
