US political ads 2018

i heard about that. unfortunately democrats noe have complete control of coloraso and maine, and they won both houses of the new hampshire oegislature. fortunately the republican governor was reelected. dems also won complete control over conneticut. for a while it looked like the republican might actually win, but the democrat just barely won unfrtunately. on the bright side, republicans kept florida, georga, ohio, and iowa, and are also likely to have complete control over alska now that it has a republican governor.

Well before the Spring of 2018 we had a spilt Govt in the State House, NYS is Blue but they are pockets of the State that are Red example Upstate NY,Long Island, Staten Island(NYC), all were until recently very red they lean red now cause the demographics are changing the state is more Hispanic and Asian now and Dems pander hard to them as well.Now back to State Govt,the State Senate was under the Republicans because Moderate Democrats or Blue Dog Democrats sided with the GOP to give control of the State Senate it kept Cuomo in checked now since all those Democrats are primaried out the left wing of the NYS Democratic Party is now in control and now its Caliofornia Northeast now btw Dan Donnovan lost to Max Rose a US Army vet in Staten Island so the GOP has no Congress member from the 5 boros starting this January
