+1 Democrat Johnny DuPree Flips Republican-Held Mississippi Senate District in Pine Belt

Did Republicans flip any Democrat seats tonight? Seems like an incredibly bad night for them.

If they have, I haven't read it yet. Lots of lots of Democratic flips though.

Texas passed a ballot measure to prevent non-citizens from voting. Which is already illegal, but Texas just wanted to be duplicative and waste money on a frivolous ballot measure.

The Backlash Has Arrived: 6 Takeaways From a Good Night for Democrats
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/us/politics/election-takeaways-democrats.html

In Virginia, New Jersey and beyond, Democratic voters powered their candidates to victory and sent a warning sign to President Trump and his Republican Party.
It was the wave election of 2025.

Democrats, furious about President Trump’s remaking of American government and society, turned out in extraordinary numbers for an off-year election to sweep virtually every competitive election on the map.

The results served as a rebuke of Mr. Trump and his Republican Party and a salve for Democrats who have not had many good nights in the last year. Next will come a fierce, yearlong fight, first in redistricting battles and then the midterm elections, for control of the House of Representatives and the fate of Mr. Trump’s agenda during the final two years of his term.

If you look at the Fox News website, there's a mention of a Democratic sweep in very teeny font.

That's an incredible flip for Dems, and hopefully a harbinger of elections to come.

+1 You can disagree with his politics, but he articulates a clear and compelling message of David vs. Goliath.

I don't get his point. Is he saying more states will redistrict to strengthen their numbers now?

No. When you gerrymander, you try to distribute the R voters so that more of the districts are R + X. Since there are only so many R voters to go around, you often have to create districts that are R+6 or so while also lowering your margins in districts that may have been R + 20.. That's fine and safe in a normal year, but when you get a wave election where Ds are overperforming by 7 or 8 points, you suddenly just created a bunch of D districts while eliminating your safe districts. This is also known as a dummymander.

Great explanation. More here from a former GOP congressman:

Well yeah. Young people voted for Trump because they felt the economic crunch under Biden, but quickly realized that Trump made them much much worse off. They want someone who advocates for opportunities for them.
