Constitutional Carry fizzles as campaign issue for Democrats :: 11/10/2022

We’ll be talking about the midterm results throughout the day, including a broader look at how the Second Amendment fared on today’s Cam & Co, but let’s start our post-mortem by focusing on a positive: the absolute dominance of governors who signed Constitutional Carry into law.

The gun control lobby went 0-for-7 in their attempt to unseat those governors who were on the ballot last night; Brian Kemp is currently leading Stacey Abrams by about 7.5% points and has been declared the winner in Georgia, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu crushed Democrat Tom Sherman, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is cruising to re-election by nearly 20 points, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt ended up winning re-election handily despite polls showing a very tight race, and in Texas, Greg Abbott is currently ahead of Robert Francis O’Rourke by a whopping 12 points.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine had the best night of all; he’s currently leading Democrat Nan Whaley by about 25 points, and Whaley probably won’t even be able to crack 40% of the vote. Additionally, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has pledged to sign Constitutional Carry into law in his second term, obliterated Democrat Charlie Crist by nearly 20 points as well.
