Praise for this book

The Red Ripple, edited by Sabato .... With contributions by several authors, this volume offers a good analysis of the 2022 elections. It discusses, among other things, why the predicted "red wave" of widespread Republican victories did not occur; the role of Donald Trump, particularly in the primaries; candidate quality among Republicans running for the Senate; the consequences of redistricting for the House, particularly in New York and Florida; and the impact of overturning Roe v. Wade on the campaigns and results.... good for upper-division and graduate courses. Recommended.... Advanced undergraduates and graduate students
