漏 2024 外网天堂鈥檚 political trio 鈥� Jason Rosenbaum, Jo Mannies and Rachel Lippmann 鈥� did a postmortem of Tuesday鈥檚 election results on the latest edition of the Politically Speaking podcast.
The upshot is that Missouri Republicans did well, and state Democrats have some rebuilding to do.
U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., was ousted by Republican Josh Hawley, and state Auditor Nicole Galloway barely won, despite a low-budget challenge from Republican Saundra McDowell.
One Democratic bright spot was Cort VanOstran鈥檚 strong 鈥� but unsuccessful 鈥� bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Ballwin.
Meanwhile, voters also passed ballot measures that:
- Legalize medical marijuana
- Raise Missouri鈥檚 minimum wage
- Revamp the state鈥檚 redistricting process for state legislative seats
