Yes, a lot of surprises. Democrats really outperformed in the south.
I expected them to keep the seat in Michigan, certainly flip Maine, North Carolina and Texas, probably Ohio, Kansas and Alaska. 6/7 already came true, but they also got Iowa, which I thought less likely, but could be close, South Carolina, which I did not expect at all (and it ended up not even being that close). And now it looks like they could take home Mississippi and were closer in Florida and much closer in Louisiana than anyone had expected.
The “battleground wins” in North Carolina, Texas and Georgia were just flat out knock outs. I mean if you are winning with 10 points in Texas and 18 in the other two, that’s a huge blow.
That being said, it is not that blue everywhere, Alaska senate is a toss-up, I thought that one would go to the democrats, and while I expected Nebraska to stay republican, I would have thought that one would be a lot closer.
