Morning After 2018 Election Update

A few quick updates:

  • Republicans are on-track to pickup five senate seats, including Arizona and Montana, but Republican Dean Heller lost in Nevada. (Update: Democrat Jon Tester back in the Montana Senate race lead narrowly.)
  • Democrats pick up 27 House seats (with some races still outstanding), enough to take control of the chamber and put Nancy Pelosi back in the speaker’s chair.
  • Democrats picked up seven Governor’s mansions, including booting Scott Walker in Wisconsin.

    • No blue wave. A bit of a blue ripple, but Democrats underperformed midterm averages, as the party in the White House usually loses senate seats.

    Republicans both taking a senate seat and holding the governor’s mansion in Florida without recounts in such a mixed midterm is a big of a surprise.

    Twitter really thinks Democrats are dumb:

    More later. Maybe tomorrow.
