Early signs that the mid-terms are the best for a sitting incumbent since 2002:

Democrats did far better than expected. How come? | Matthew Yglesias

There was no Republican ‘red wave’ after all. And abortion might be the reason why

The republicans will surely take control of the House of Representatives and are still able to control the senate at this point. I’m unsure if this means that Biden’s brilliant support for Ukraine will to scuppered?

Has Spence predicted a "landslide" yet ?

My guess in reality is that it'll be a good result for Republicans, although there is a chance it won't be quite as amazingly good as they would like.

they talk up a problem to oppose the Democrats, i dont see Republicans actually stopping military aid, aka US arms sales, to Ukraine.

As said one one of the other threads the other day, for the US military manufacturing sector the Ukraine war is an absolute win-win scenario. They get to flog a load of military hardware to someone plus they then get to watch what happens when it's used against the hardware of another superpower (which, as it turns out, is that it absolutely wipes the floor with them). Any US administration in this scenario would be utterly insane to want to put a stop to that.

Which then begs the question, is the modern Republican party insane? The fact that's not a complete "no" is the only real fly in any ointment right now.
