look at all the new dem governorships. Look at a KS dem governor!
And why push aside the house wins?
There are 435 House races, so any one race isn't a big deal or didn't get national focus. That's about the aggregate, which was good.
The KS governor race wasn't really national news going in. A nice pickoff, though.
The national news stories going in were the governors races for Florida and Georgia. Not good for Dems.
The big Senate races were MO, IN, AZ, TN, TX, MT, FL and NV
The Dems only pulled NV which was a Hillary state anyway.
Maybe you can throw in WV, but Manchin was always favored to win and he helped confirm Kavanugh.
Republicans outperformed expectations and won almost every contested big race.
I think you are being too picky. There were huge pickups by the Dems in the US House, and statehouses across the nation.
Focusing on headline races isn't so useful.
