What Went Down During The 2021 Elections

That’s a good point, Alex. It’s pretty clear that Trump is itching to get back into the political spotlight. Last week, he published a letter to the editor (that looks a lot like one of his press releases) in the Wall Street Journal. He also attended game four of the World Series in Atlanta.

It appears he’s scrambling to get back on social media after being banned from Twitter. There’s even been reporting that advisers encouraged him to stay on the sidelines but he wanted to announce his presidential candidacy weeks, if not months, ago.

Republicans have managed to keep Trump on the sidelines so far, but he’s been pretty forthcoming about his intention to get involved in the midterms.

And that’s a wrap on a New York mayoral election that felt like it started fifty-seven years ago. Remember all those Zoom forums and debates? The botched results? Somebody named Shaun Donovan? For me, I’m still waiting on the most interesting race in New York City … in City Council District 32, where Republicans are fighting to hold onto their last non-Staten Island seat.

Someone in this channel said earlier that Trump would likely try to take credit for a Youngkin win (should that happen). And if his statements this evening are any indication, Trump is taking an early victory lap. Just a few minutes ago, the former president bragged that he “didn’t even have to go rally for Youngkin, because McAuliffe did it for me.” He also thanked “MAGA voters for turning out big!”
