There’s no way to describe Tuesday night’s midterm elections as anything other than a complete disaster for Republicans. Not only are Democrats projected to win back the House, but they’re also poised to seize control of the Senate, a victory that allows them to deny President Trump any prospective cabinet or judicial appointments for the remainder of his term.
But it’s not just that Republicans lost “key” Senate races heading into Election Day. It’s that they lost or were close to losing seats in supposedly “red” states.
