Control of House oversight is a huge win for Dems.

A check on abuse of power.
There will be real investigations into corruption, nepotism, and conspiracy.

There will be no 2nd #GOPTaxScam.
There will be no repeal of the #ACA.

Democracy was on the ballot.
DEMOCRACY WON

Disappointed about Senate results?

We dared to hope the Senate was flippable, but the truth is it was a near impossible climb. Dems had to defend more seats than the GOP did, and held their own.

Sets up the next 2 elections, where Dems have a better chance. It’s a long game. /2
Still, as the media debates whether or not this was a wave, keep this in mind.

Dems won the popular vote in this election by 54% to the GOP 46%. That’s a bigger wave than the GOP’s in ‘95, ‘10, and ‘14. Bigger than the Dem’s ‘06. Only ‘08 was bigger.

That is a big wave!

Structural change has to be a major part of Democrat’s message going forward.

It’s true that Dems tend to be clumped in cities, GOP in the south and rural areas. Still, the effect of gerrymandering is un-democratic.

It’s time for impartial drawing of district lines. /4
Big win for Dems in state legislatures as well! Going to make a huge difference in redistricting.

Flipped legislatures:
👉Colorado Senate,
👉Maine Senate,
👉Minnesota House,
👉New Hampshire Senate & House, 👉New York Senate. 🙌

They’ve also picked up 7 Governorships! 😁
