Truth is, Republicans basically dominated the miderm election
It is extremely rare for the party of a newly elected president to retain control of congress at the midterms. So Dems taking the house isn't a shocker. What is a shocker is the break in history of the Dems failing to take the senate as well.
Trump adding seats to the senate is huge. That's going to help with the next SCOTUS nominee. And it means house dems can't get anything done either.
Plus NONE of the dem's high profile challengers won.
This is a big win for Republicans.
