Anti-Kavanaugh Dems Lose BIG in Contested Races

All of the Senate Democrats who voted against Brett Kavanaugh and were in competitive races lost on Tuesday. The lone Dem in a competitive race who voted for Kavanaugh won reelection.

According to Fox News:

Incumbent Senate Democrats in battleground states who opposed the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination appeared to have paid a price on Election Day, with senators Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Indiana's Joe Donnelly, Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Florida's Bill Nelson all suffering defeat.

In fact, every Democrat incumbent who opposed Kavanaugh in states rated "toss up" by Fox News lost their race. In contrast, the lone Democrat who voted for Kavanaugh, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, won his race.

"Every Dem Senator in a competitive race who voted against Kavanaugh lost," tweeted Tom Bevan, Co-founder of RealClearPolitics. Fox News polling offered evidence the Kavanaugh issue was a major problem for those battleground incumbent Democrats.

A Fox News poll from early October, just before the Kavanaugh confirmation vote, found 34 percent of North Dakotans said they would be less likely to vote for Heitkamp if she voted against Kavanaugh, with just 17 percent saying it would make them more likely to vote for her.

Senator Lindsey Graham spoke to Fox News on Tuesday night and attributed the success in the Senate to the Democrats tactics during the confirmation hearing, for now, Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
