So far Republicans have picked up 5 House seats. Somewhat surprising but not extraordinary. A handful of people were predicting Democratic gains. I would have liked the status quo kept but a gain of 5 seats will have little impact.
Democrats have picked up 1 Senate seat with 2 seats in Georgia going to a new election. Yes, Democrats hoped to pick up seats in Maine and NC. and did not. A disappointment.
I believe Republicans picked up 1 Governorship and maybe 1 state legislature.
I expected Democrats to do better but never predicted a "blue wave". Many voters split their tickets. I voted for Biden and I voted for Cornyn. I've read many complaints from Republicans who questioned how Biden could win when Republicans did so well in down-ticket races. Stupid question.
You are now 1 for 2 in predicting the last 2 presidential races. No victory let alone a landslide for Trump. The good news for you is that there is speculation Trump may run again in 2024 at the age of 78.
