Well, Tennessee didn't do so well for the Democratic party, but elsewhere... Wow! I mean, even the Mississippi U.S. Senate election could be a Democrat. If not they did better than Tennessee could apparently even imagine.
Georgia's newly elected Governor is a Democrat. Their Democratic Senator got re-elected.
South Carolina's newly elected Senator is a Democrat.
Iowa's newly elected Governor is a Democrat. In addition, they elected a Democrat for U.S. Senator.
Ohio's newly elected Governor is a Democrat. In addition, they elected a Democrat for U.S. Senator.
Texas, Wow!, Texas. Texans ousted 3 term Governor Abbot to elect the Democrat. Texans also elected a Democratic Senator. Wow!
Maine elected a Democratic Senator, ousting nearly 30 year U.S. Senator Collins.
Democrats gain control of the U.S. House and Senate. Not enough for a supermajority in either.
