This wasn't your typical midterm....

Quote:The American voter dealt President Donald Trump a historic rebuke on a scale not seen since 1974, propelling Democrats into control of both houses of Congress with commanding wins in places they hadn’t carried in decades.

Democrats won both the Senate and governor’s races in Texas — their first statewide victories there since 1994. They took a U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina and the Georgia governorship for the first time since 1998. Kansas sent a Democrat to the Senate for the first time since 1932.

Among their early House victories were a Kentucky district that voted for Trump by 15 points and two Florida seats that Republicans redrew to shift right. The head of the House GOP’s campaign arm trailed in his own race with 99 percent of the vote counted. As of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, Democrats led in every competitive House contest.

Talarico winning by +12 in Texas! Conservatives thought he had no chance. Instead he won by over a million votes.

Voters clearly weren't happy with what the GOP was offering. Now hopefully the dems don't squander this opportunity.
