DEMS Flip FIVE Governorships

Five GOP governor's offices flipped to Democrats Tuesday in Texas, Iowa, Georgia, Nevada and Ohio, the Washington Examiner reports. Gina Hinojosa beat Gov. Greg Abbott in Texas, ending three-plus decades of Republican control. Rob Sand beat Zach Lahn in Iowa, and Keisha Lance Bottoms beat Rick Jackson in Georgia, ending eight years under Gov. Brian Kemp. Democrats now have at least 28 governorships to the GOP's 20, with two uncalled, the first edge in over a decade. Nobody asked the map. Nobody asked me either, which was their first mistake. The Republicans who ran these races owe the base a straight answer, and the base would like it in writing. The experts are baffled. The rest of us did the math.
