Cook Political Report: “Now, every single Senate incumbent — most notably the quartet of first-term Democrats who seemed particularly vulnerable just a year ago — has won re-election.”
“That’s a first in American history since the direct election of senators. The last cycle when no incumbent lost re-election in the general election was in 1914 — the first under the newly-ratified 17th Amendment. However, that year two incumbents did lose in primaries.”
“And it marks the first time that our final Toss Up races split 100 percent toward the same party. There is no equivocating — this was a completely and totally disappointing midterm for Senate Republicans and a huge indictment on Trump, Trumpism and the mutually assured destruction the former president insists on taking the party even as he’s still myopically focused on the 2020 election and his bogus claims of fraud.”
