Republican candidates dominated Tuesday’s elections across the country.
Republicans won the highly contentious Virginia race for governor, and New Jersey’s gubernatorial contest was unexpectedly close and, in fact, too close to call this morning.
Republican Kevin Brobson won the open Pennsylvania Supreme Court seat and Republican candidates did well in the others judicial contests as well.
Why were Republicans so successful and what does it mean for mid-term Congressional elections next year? Fletcher McClellan, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science at Elizabethtown College appears on Smart Talk Wednesday to share his analysis.
