As Democrats continue to reel from an unexpected loss in purple Virginia and a near upset in the blue state of New Jersey, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) predicted that these elections are an indication that the 2022 midterms will be “very good for Republicans.”

“I think the fall of ’22 is likely to be a very good election for Republicans,” McConnell told reporters while visiting his home state of Kentucky on Monday.
