Republican midterm backlash from females

Women protested Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court have warned Republicans they will suffer backlash in the midterms.

Analysts have said the nomination of Mr Kavanaugh – who is now the least popular Supreme Court justice in modern history – will ultimately see Republicans lose many congressional seats during the upcoming midterm elections.

Women’s groups said they will once again mobilize ahead of the midterms.

“If we organize, mobilize, and vote, we will win. We must all commit to action in coming weeks to take back control of our government from right-wing extremists."

The backlash against Mr Kavanaugh’s confirmation is obviously evident.

A fund for Republican senator Susan Collins’ potential challenger in her 2020 senatorial re-election campaign raised over $2m during her 45-minute speech on why she had decided to vote in favor of Kavanaugh. By the end of the week, that fund had surpassed $3m.

“Susan Collins will never be mistaken for a moderate again,” said Heidi Hess, co-director of the social change network CREDO Action, whose members placed tens of thousands of phone calls to key senate offices during the confirmation process.

Democrats had a mere 2 per cent edge over Republicans before the confirmation, whereas that same poll gave the Democrats a 10-point lead by July.

Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of the women’s group UltraViolet Action, put it simply: “It ends in November.”

Trump is out manipulating the gullible.
