‘Red Wave’ Strengthens As Obama-Endorsed Candidate Loses to GOP
Nov 17, 2021
In Columbia, SC, Republican candidate Daniel Rickenmann has defeated Democrat Tameika Isaac Devine, despite Obama publically endorsing Devine. Although Columbia has been a deep blue city for the past several years, city councilman Rickenmann was still able to secure the victory.
Obama released a public endorsement for Democratic candidate Devine, as did Clyburn, a highly regarded Democrat. However, neither endorsement was enough to secure a victory for Devine.

This surprising result was celebrated as part of a “red wave” that seems to be sweeping both South Caroline and Virginia. First-time candidate Glenn Youngkin has also won the Virginia race for governor, another historically blue-leaning state.
Both states have seen Democratic losses trending upward as Biden’s poll numbers continue to trend down.

Columbia, SC has been led by Dem mayors for 30 years. @JoeBiden won this city by 30 points in 2020 and @BarackObama campaigned for the Democrat. But last night, Republican @Rickenmann had a big win. The red wave is coming!

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll shows that both Biden and Kamala have incredibly low approval ratings. 46% of those surveyed said Biden has performed worse in office than expected, and 64% don’t want Biden to run for reelection. On a similar trend, Kamala earned a 51.2% disapproval rating. These numbers do not look promising for the Democrats in terms of the 2022 midterms.
