Bloomberg https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-midterm-election-results/?view=H&filter=none CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/election/2018/results/house 538 live blog: https://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/2018-election-results-coverage/?ex_cid=extra_banner Fox: https://www.foxnews.com/midterms-2018 NYTimes: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/06/us/elections/results-house-forecast.html It's a nailbiter in a lot of cases, but seems likely that democrats retake house by a solid margin, and repubs solidify senate lead by ~2 seats. After the first few hours things seem to have settled down a bit. | ||

Sadly Florida isn’t going well, but it’s hard when 1.4 million black men can’t vote. And the state is pretty god damn racist. But next time around it will be a different story. | ||

How do the Americans feel about the results? I know this thread is mostly Democrats, so are you satisfied with the Senate sacrifices and some state governors disappointments in exchange for control of the House? Seems like losing the Senate seats to solidify the Republican majority is a really bitter pill to swallow. | ||

Reminder that the clown stalking/sighting trend started in Florida too. | ||

I suspect there will be a hope he could be one of the "principled conservatives" to be the bulwark against Trump, but I'm sure he'll bend the knee like all the rest of the moderate Rs in senate. As for Cruz-Beto, well, there was a slim chance for the miracle Doug Jones upset in my heart, but I knew it was a lalaland fantasy. How do the Americans feel about the results? I know this thread is mostly Democrats, so are you satisfied with the Senate sacrifices and some state governors disappointments in exchange for control of the House? Seems like losing the Senate seats to solidify the Republican majority is a really bitter pill to swallow. Only 33 of the 100 seats in the senate are up for grabs. The democrats are defending this election. 2020 is a god damn blood bath for Republicans. A lot of senators people do not like are on the ballot. It sucks, but it’s the nature of the beast. Democrats were never going main gains in the senate this election. But the filibuster still exists. Republicans can’t do shit without Democratic support. | ||

How can you generalize a group of people like that? Maybe if Gillum didn't threaten to run our economy into a deficit he would have gotten more votes. To make this a race issue is just absurd. DeSantis is a very unexciting candidate, but at least he didn't threaten to tax the hell out of our state. | ||

It gives you an idea of how much of an uphill battle democrats had and seem to be pulling ahead with. The Republicans build themselves a huge firewall. No surprises in the senate, but the House is slowly turning out for the Democrats. | ||
