Pre election expectations

Remember the red wave?

Before the media begins to diminish this historic election, remember what they were saying before.

I heard that it would be a miracle and historic if Dems could hold either chamber. I heard that if the Dems could finish with over 200 members in the House it would be seen as a huge win.

We smashed all expectations. Do not forget that when the downplaying begins.

of Barnes v Johnson

Even though I was watching, I could not believe that that the Dems failed even though they were warned to not repeat 2016.

Right now there are only 3 AAs in the U.S. Senate and there is a couple hundred year reason for it.
