Question

after watching the behavior of dan patrick following his close re-election fight in 2018, a political observer might make which assumption about the impact of close elections on the leadership style of statewide officials who experienced unexpectedly close re-election battles?

Answer 1

Answer:

Close election battles have a moderating effect.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Close re-elections steal away the puff and pageantry of arrogant elected officials. These close elections cause them to bellow down to reality and moderate their leadership styles to align with people's mandate.

• The behavior of Dan Patrick as one of the plural governors of Texas after the 2018 elections shows that no politician owes any political entity.

• As the most conservative leader in Texas, Dan Patrick moderates his conservatism by reducing his priorities as the Lieutenant Governor.

Thus, any reasonable politicians who have won close re-elections need some rethinking of their political stands because the voters decide the winners.
