Yes, those are all elements that suggest that the Republicans should have had a major wave.

But the Republicans have been acting completely entitled to the midterm shift away from the President's party.  And so they overreached.  The SCOTUS Dobbs decision affected millions of women and young people.  It was bad enough that SCOTUS overturned RvW, but then the Republicans decided to double down and start trying to enshrine abortion bans into state law.  The numbers have shown that women and young voters registered in record numbers and the turning point was very clearly the month after the Dobbs decision.  The Republicans stuck their heads in the sand and kept screaming that no one cared about the Dobbs decision when compared to the economy and inflation because the majority of white male Republicans who were too old to impregnate a woman didn't care about it.  Guess what?  They were wrong.

As you can see in the multiple states that tried to put abortion bans into state law, the people, including most of the new voters, specifically voted against that.  The Republicans could have had a red wave.  I think that had they not tried to double down on Dobbs, and just let the abortion issue go, they would have had the red wave.  That combined with continued belief in a stolen election, and blindly following a leader who has lost every popular vote he's contested, was a defeat of their own making.
