Trump's 'big victory' diminished as Democrats pick up more wins
Brad Bannon: 'If the GOP has many more 'victories' like this, it will go the way of the Whigs'

The midterm elections didn’t deliver the shellacking Democrats suffered in 2010, but President Trump’s “big victory†is looking less impressive as the days wear on, with more House and Senate races slipping from the GOP’s grasp.
Republican losses swelled to at least 35 House seats, and the total could reach 40 when the last of the too-close-to-call races are settled. Democrats also flipped a second Senate seat from red to blue Tuesday with Kyrsten Sinema named the winner in the Arizona race.
The results solidify Democrats’ takeover of the House and keep the Republican Senate majority thin.
Democrats also took over at least seven governors’ mansions, won back majorities in eight state legislative chambers and flipped at least 329 state legislative seats.“The more time that passes since Election Day, the better things keep looking for Democrats,†Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said at the Capitol.
Mr. Schumer boasted about his party’s “Women of the West†— Sens.-elect Sinema and Jacky Rosen, who snagged a Republican seat in Nevada.
