In the 2018 Ohio gubernatorial election, Attorney General Mike DeWine beat former attorney general Richard Cordoray by <4%, which was considered a “minor upset”. In 2022, DeWine won reelection by 25% (most OH Republican governors win reelection by landslide), and the other statewide executive republicans won by over 17%.

However, DeWine faced primary challengers in 2022, who seemed to challenge him because they thought he was not conservative enough or not MAGA enough. While DeWine won, he won with a 48% plurality, so it’s possible he could’ve lost if all the opponents rallied behind 1 candidate. If DeWine lost, how would have the election played out?

More importantly, what would have happened to Tim Ryan?

While he lost, he lost by only 6%, overperforming every other Democrat. Political polarization (no question) helped him lose to Vance.

In the 2018 Ohio gubernatorial election, Attorney General Mike DeWine beat former attorney general Richard Cordoray by <4%, which was considered a “minor upset”. Other republicans running for statewide executive offices won by ~5%. In 2010, DeWine narrowly beat Cordoray in the attorney general race. In 2022, DeWine won reelection by the typical reelection landslide (most OH Republican governors win reelection by landslide).

The 2018 Ohio Gubernatorial Election had a competitive primary in the DEM field, which might have hurt DEMS. If Ryan ran and won the primary or cleared it, how would he have done in the general?

Incumbent senator Sherrod Brown was able to comfortably win reelection.

Democratic socialist Dem or Freedom Caucus Rep

Politicians’ digital footprints are already being scrutinized (like Graham Platner until he dropped out, or more recently, David Crowley.) and many people in our generation have said…unsavory things on the internet. As time goes on, many of those people would become politicians, is it likely their digital footprint gets leaked, and does this make Gen Z politicians unelectable?

Yes, I’m talking about Tiffany winning against Hong but downballot dems outrunning him enough to win the state house and senate.

Pennsylvania and Indiana have both elected women to lieutenant governor positions.

Possibly 2032 for 'likely blue' states as well and 2028 for 'likely red' ones.

Saw an interesting thread that was mentioning how well Pingree is doing with people mentioning how this will or could help Jackson, and I thought it deserved a post.
