4. It's a pretty strong Dem area isn't it?

[Johnny2X2X]

8. Was two seats

One was strong Dem, and it went 95-4. Yes, a 91 point win.

The other is a swing district and the Dem won 60-38. This was a district that Trump won in 2016.

9. As a Michigander I'm relieved and

very happy. Getting ready for Big Gretch to make a run in '28...no matter the outcome of this election I think she's the Dem front runner 4 years from now. She's formidable.

[NBachers]

27. I love Gavin, but will California be cleaned up by then; Kamala would make a kick-ass president; Gretch may be the one!

[Yavin4]

12. The post-Trump Republican party is not going to be pretty folks.

More likely that the party will go away forever.

[LakeArenal]

22. But but.... What about the bloodbath?

Oh for trump supporters. I get it.

[littlemissmartypants]

14. Great news! Thanks for sharing this, EleanorR. ❤️

17. MSM - "This spells trouble for President Biden"

in 3-2-1...

Somehow, there has to be a gray cloud in that silver lining.

18. These were low voter turnout elections

But darned if they weren’t huge Dem wins.

It’s special election after special election of Dems outperforming the polls and previous elections. If the roles were reversed it would be media doom and gloom for Biden and Dems 24/7. There’s a Blue Wave coming, and no one is talking about it.

And when the wave comes, the media’s lack of coverage of it will give Trump more fuel to claim it was all stolen.

[DownriverDem]

21. Guess why?

The MSM is corp owned and controlled.

[onetexan]

24. The high % wins by Dems candidates to me is a belweather for the general

[ananda]

19. Blue tsunami on the way!

Yeah buddy

[DownriverDem]

20. Yay!

We have a mighty fine Blue team here!

[llmart]

23. We've got the best of the best!

Other states should look to us as a shining example of how to get things done for the people.

[Wounded Bear]

25. Good news! MI is a big part of rebuilding the Blue Wall...nt

[NBachers]

28. This ex-Kalamzoo resident is proud of Michigan! I always knew you had it in you.

[SergeStorms]

29. Good work!

And congratulations to Michigan Democrats.
