The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

• November 7th proved to be yet another disappointing election day for Republicans across the country. In Kentucky, Andy Beshear (D) won reelection in his gubernatorial campaign. Republicans in Virginia lost control of the state House—meaning that Democrats now control both chambers of the Virginia legislature. Meanwhile, Ohioans voted in favor of establishing abortion as a state constitutional right. Locally, Republicans in Pennsylvania and New Jersey struggled—with Judge Dan McCaffery defeating Judge Carolyn Carluccio to win a seat on Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court. How can Republicans change course moving forward? Removing Ronna Romney McDaniel from her position as Republican Party Chairwoman, reaching out to younger voters via TikTok, and expanding the conservative vote by embracing mail-in ballots and taking advantage of early voting.
• On Wednesday night, Governor Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Senator Tim Scott, former Governor Chris Christie, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy squared off in the third Republican Presidential Primary debate on NBC News.
• In a video posted to social media, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced that he will not seek reelection in 2024. In the 2020 presidential race, Donald Trump won West Virginia with nearly 69% of the vote—consequently, it is presumed that Manchin’s long-held seat will be won by a Republican in 2024. With his time in the Senate now coming to an end, could Manchin ultimately end up running for president in 2024?
• During Wednesday night’s Republican Presidential Primary debate, Vivek Ramaswamy blasted GOP Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel for catering to NBC News and other left-wing media outlets. At one point, Ramaswamy called out moderator—and host of Meet the Press—Kristen Welker for pushing the disproven narrative that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election victory was courtesy of Russian interference. In response to the criticisms, McDaniel mocked Ramaswamy for polling at 4% and accused him of once voting for Barack Obama.
