Reply To: Election Results 2018 — Republicans Do Better Than Expected

35 House seats is below average to flip for a midterm, against the president’s party. Republicans flipped over 70 House seats in 2010, two years into the Obama Administration. Any they flipped Senate seats, which this year went against the Democrats despite it supposed to being “their” midterm.

Arizona is tied with a quarter of the votes still uncounted. Either way, Republicans will have *gained* Senate seats.

Any in state legislative races, while Democrats picked up 200+ seats this year, in 2010 Republicans picked up 700+ state legislative seats whereby Republicans then flipped about 16 state legislative chambers to a Republican majority.
