Soros-backed DA loses to GOP challenger as prosecutor elections become battlegrounds

Fox News is funny ... headline also could have been written as "Democrats proved successful in prosecutorial elections in Virginia"... depending on what spin you want to put on it.

 

Yeah, I'm trying to understand this. If you comb through all the DA elections held so far this month, you can find three where Republicans won, including beating one Democrat who had funding from Soros' PAC?

 

LOL. One of the "republican winners" is a centrist democrat who had held the office for 25 years before losing to a liberal democrat in the primary, so he ran on the vacant republican side for the general. Yuge.

 

That was a hilarious spin article. Credit to Fox for making shoe shine out of shit.

 

Why should the story be all that surprising considering that Broome County is a Republican county in a upstate New York and by the way Battisti the winner of the election defeated the incumbent DA in the Republican primary. Contrary to the implication in the Fox story it wasn't a case of a conservative defeating an incumbent liberal. Battisti was most likely the overwhelming favorite going into the general election. As much as it pains me to use the analogy, the result of the election was about as surprising as Georgia beating the Gators two and a half weeks ago.

 

why are DAs/DA candidates affiliated with political parties? I guess the ans is so that voters don't have to think.

 

The non biased view of what happened here in Loudoun is this. The election was a near perfect current representation of the national mood.
On crime, the democrat brand is tarnished to put it mildly, so the republicans won sheriff and DA. The DA also lost a lot of votes for prosecuting the dad of the raped girl. Everyone understood and even respected the anger that came from him.
Mainly over abortion, my district (which is pretty evenly divided) sent 2 D’s for senate and house to Richmond. And the state level results almost exactly matched the electorate.

But the one the Western Journal will never talk about…for all the national press on the transgender issues here and the misguided thinking that residents were near riot based on a few hotheads at the school board meetings, the Dem backed candidates all got reelected to the school board. Because the fear of regressive book banning and other silliness trumped worries over pronouns.

I would say in fairness to the OP, the legit question is which of these issues carries into a national election. Abortion is much more effective as an issue at the state level now because that’s where it’s decided.
The retiree in AZ who is seeing their nest egg eaten up by inflation, the Muslim in Michigan who thinks they have been thrown under the bus for Israel and the Jewish vote, the black family in Georgia who thinks Biden has ignored their issues…is abortion really going to trump that for them? But crime historically has been shown to do just that, candidates have been running on it for generations. So Dems should be careful into how much they take out of Nov 7.
Jmo.
