Crystal Quade (D) [2023 file photo].

Last night, from Missouri House Minority Leader and gubernatorial candidate Crystal Quade (D):

Crystal Quade
[November 7, 2023]
In red and purple states across the country, voters have made it clear: you strip away our rights, we’re coming for you.
Despite Jay Ashcroft and Andrew Bailey’s best attempts, voters will restore access to abortion in Missouri.

Missouri will be next.

* Every op-ed piece in old media tomorrow morning.

Sarcasm.

In Virginia:

Larry Sabato @LarrySabato
CLEARANCE SALE: all ‘Youngkin for President 2024’ merchandise. A free MyPillow comes with all purchases over $1. NO RETURNS.
8:01 PM · Nov 7, 2023

Heh.

In Kentucky:

New York Times Pitchbot @DougJBalloon
In a clear rejection of Biden’s presidency, Kentucky voters have reelected Democratic governor Andy Beshear.
8:13 PM · Nov 7, 2023

Heh.

Joe Biden (D) did that.
