Yeah, we're far away from a red wave.

So far, Republicans won a measly 2 house seats while losing a senate seat and 2 governors. Not really a great night for the GOP.

Edit: If somebody wants to track the results:

Despite this turning out better for the democrats than anticipated, it's still sad that this can be a close race when the republicans have so many scumbags among their ranks.

Well the bright side is that Republicans did not totally go south and pick any of Trump idiots so you still have that.  Now things will get interesting because I am sure that Desantis is thinking my time is now, so I see him making his stand which should prove very interesting for Trump.  If Desantis does go for the Republican nonimation and Trump loses again, the meltdown probably will be epic if he is not indicted by that time.

Oh man poor Republicans, no red wave. It sucks when bad things happen to bad people.

DeSantis might try to go for that 2024 nomination now. Pleased that it looks like people are finally paying attention to midterms.

This was the best midterm performance by a sitting president's party since 2002, when Bush was still riding a wave of post 9/11 sentimentality. 

Unfortunately, Florida was one place that bucked trends elsewhere in the nation.

Which is kind of absurdly impressive given the situation (poor economic conditions, low presidential approval, etc.)

I  mean, I don't think anyone actually LIKES Biden, they just greatly prefer 'old and inept' to 'malicious and sinister'. The very textbook definition of the lesser of two evils. (I actually don't think biden is bad but the general consensus is that he's not great and kinda out of it, even if the policies he and his people are attempting to implement are good.)

The progressive wing of the party did particularly well for the Dems (John Fetterman, Maxwell Frost, Delia Ramirez, Greg Casar, Summer Lee.. all new members to the progressive side), when your policies (universal healthcare, free college tuition, strong environmental policies.. etc) are popular it shouldn't be a shock when you do well with younger voters.. 

Gen Z did it's job by voting for progressive Dem's, this group of 18 to 29 year olds having a 28 point swing to the Dems, give people what they want and they will reward you, they saved the day for the Dems as a whole   

The break down by swing and age
