Looking at the big picture, it’s clear that Republicans will not have the 2022 midterm they wanted. In the Senate, Democrats lead in Pennsylvania, and Georgia looks like it will go to a runoff. And in the House, Democrats have scored some surprising victories in Ohio and North Carolina. Of course, there’s still a lot we don’t know in places like Nevada and Arizona, and Democrats would still have to run the table to hold onto the House. But it looks like the results will be on the low end of what was predicted for Republicans.
