Here's How One Republican Defied the Blue Wave and Won in Deep-Blue Vermont

One Republican withstood the blue onslaught that battered his party on Tuesday, and a closer look at the kind of Republican he is could offer lessons about what is popular and what wins elections, especially against progressive Democrats.
On Tuesday, Phil Scott held on to the governor’s mansion in deep-blue Vermont, defeating progressive Democrat Amanda Janoo. Keep in mind, this is Bernie Sanders’ state, the same state that just overwhelmingly elected Democratic supermajorities in both chambers of its state legislature and re-elected a Democrat for its single seat in the House of Representatives.

Scott was also re-elected by a comfortable margin, securing 52.5 percent of the vote to his opponent’s 45 percent. So what makes Scott stand out?
He is perhaps best described as a principled conservative, known for supporting economic growth, keeping government small, and adhering to the limits of government power.
Like most races across the country, the race between Scott and his opponent centered on affordability and the cost of living. But their answers were very different. While Janoo advocated taxing the wealthy, rent control, and universal healthcare, Scott emphasized deregulation, economic growth, and increasing supply through the free market.
Rather than calling for higher taxes, more government intervention, or another attempt to “fix” the free market, Scott advocated more housing, more businesses, and attracting more working-age people to live and work in Vermont, so the state could fund public services through a larger tax base rather than higher taxes on existing residents.

Data Centers Are Losing 38-1 at the Ballot Box With More to Count
Roughly 77 percent of voters nationwide are casting ballots against AI expansion.

Data center developers are having a bad year at ballot boxes across America.
On Nov. 3, many cities and counties held votes on more restrictive rules for data centers. Six communities had already voted to pass similar ordinances earlier in the year.
Taken together, 38 local measures restricting data center development have now carried, and six measures are leading, for a total of at least 44 new roadblocks that developers will have to either work around or avoid by siting their data centers elsewhere.
Only one community has voted for what Redbud Consulting’s Data Centers on the Ballot dashboard calls the allow side, with the camps broken down into “restrict” and “allow.”

Republican Ballot Measures Were Victorious Across the Country. What Does That Mean for Republicans?

Tuesday night was nothing short of a blue tsunami, as I’m sure you need no reminder. But one of the more striking results was that even as Republicans lost, Republican-backed ballot measures, from voter ID to restrictions on transgender policies, across the country won. That should send a very particular message to Republicans heading into 2028.
____________
Voters in swing states approved a lot of conservative ballot measures while voting for anti-Trump candidates. If Democrats lurch far left on policy, the voters who gave them an enormous victory on Tuesday will be strongly tempted to switch back to the GOP or stay home in future elections. @PostOpinions https://t.co/K1TSvbnluh
— Dominic Pino (@DominicJPino) November 4, 2026
While the country saw Democrat after Democrat win, majorities in Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada, Arkansas, Kansas, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Alaska backed ballot measures requiring voter identification or limiting voting to American citizens. In Arizona and Nebraska, transgender-related ballot measures also passed overwhelmingly. Voters in several states, even California, also overwhelmingly rejected tax increases.
____________
Quick rundown of conservative ballot initiatives that passed in swing states last night: -North Carolina: property tax limit, constitutional cap on income tax at 3.5%, and voter ID -Wisconsin: affirmative action ban and limiting governor's power to raise taxes -Iowa: 2/3 majority required to raise income tax rates -Ohio: voter ID
— Dominic Pino (@DominicJPino) November 4, 2026
That points to a distinction Republicans need to understand if we are to move forward effectively: last night was a referendum against Republicans, not an endorsement of Democrats. Dissatisfied Republican voters and independents weren’t suddenly embracing socialism or progressivism. They wanted a check on President Trump’s use of executive power and on policies that, although initially popular, became unpopular because of how they were rolled out. Kristi Noem’s handling of ICE raids is but one example.

What Republicans Should Take From Last Night's Election, and Why the Iran War Is Not to Blame

Tuesday night was a brutal reminder for conservatives that victory is never guaranteed and power is never ours to keep. What matters now is how we move forward, and whether we learn the right lessons. After last night’s bloodbath, conservatives need to confront several hard truths if we are to win in 2028.

China’s Coercion and Export Flood Buy Short-Term Leverage, Not Growth: Analysts
The country’s fixed-asset investment fell 7.2 percent and property investment plunged 20.6 percent in the first nine months of 2026.

Economic coercion and a flood of surplus goods may give the Chinese regime short-term leverage, but they won’t restore growth and will only pit it against more of the world, analysts say.
The Quad—the four-nation bloc of the United States, Australia, Japan, and India—voiced serious concern on Oct. 31 about economic coercion, including arbitrary export restrictions, as well as nonmarket policies and practices that result in overcapacity.
The group made the remarks in a joint statement after talks in Atlanta on the sidelines of a G20 foreign ministers’ meeting.
China goes unnamed in the statement, but its overcapacity has been spilling into markets from Southeast Asia to Europe, while its coercion tactics have hit a string of countries.

The United States, Japan, Australia, and India announced new measures on Oct. 31 to secure critical minerals and advanced computer chips, moving ahead with specific supply-chain projects as the world’s major economies discussed how to reduce dependence on concentrated sources of essential materials.
The four countries, known collectively as the Quad, met in Atlanta on the sidelines of a G20 foreign ministers’ meeting, where supply-chain security was a major topic.
The Quad announced a $10 million U.S. commitment to support critical-mineral recycling in India and Southeast Asia, along with a new effort to identify potential disruptions in semiconductor production.
In a joint statement, the ministers also expressed grave concern over economic coercion, arbitrary export restrictions, and government policies that disrupt global supply chains.

Commentary
When the Americans proposed to establish a government of, by, and for the people, the old European monarchies laughed at the absurdity. Maybe that can work in some ancient Greek city-state, but the world since the fall of Rome has run on a different principle. It was sometimes absolute rule and sometimes rule was constrained by landowning elites. But the notion that people can rule themselves seemed absurd.
A century and a quarter later, America had clearly revealed itself as the superior and most magnificent society and system on planet Earth. It became the source of the most freedom, most innovation, most prosperity, most evidence of rising living standards for everyone.

Rep. Steube to Newsmax: 'Can't Be Surprised' by Election Results
By Jim Mishler | Wednesday, 04 November 2026 01:17 PM EST
Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., told Newsmax that Republicans "can't be surprised" by their midterm election losses after the party failed to deliver on its promises and frustrated GOP voters stayed home.
Asked whether voters were angry with President Donald Trump, Steube said Wednesday on Newsmax's "Bianca Across the Nation," "No, I think our people just didn't turn out because they were frustrated with the lack of movement in the House and the Senate."
Steube, who won reelection Tuesday, said Florida Republicans "held the line."

Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee were again named on Reporters Without Borders’ (RSF) Press Freedom Predators List, with the nonprofit accusing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of using national security as a pretext to suppress independent journalism.
RSF released its 2026 list on Nov. 2, marking the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. The organization said the CCP uses methods including attacking, imprisoning, and killing journalists to restrict press freedom under the banner of security.
It reported that 111 journalists are detained in China, making the country the world’s largest jailer of journalists.
Xi has appeared on the list repeatedly since the year after he took office in 2013, and this year marks at least his sixth inclusion, according to RSF.

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Tuesday declaring the first week of November “Anti-Communism Week” in honor of the victims of socialism and communism in other countries.
The proclamation arrived on Election Day as results for the midterm elections start rolling in.
“I call upon all Americans to stand firm in their defense against any threat to the American way of life and to protect our burning flame of liberty from the darkness of communism,” Trump wrote.
