Darren Soto pulled off the upset of the decade in Florida when he held on to the new #FL09.
This Trump +18 district voted GOP for Governor by 3% and Senator by 4%. Soto out-performed the ticket to hold on! #flapol

2026 Iowa Governor by Precinct.
Democratic Auditor Rob Sand won by 11% in this midwestern state that the Trump era has turned solid red. His crossover appeal shows up in virtually every small town and city, particularly in eastern Iowa.

One of the most shocking results of the midterms was Seward County, KS, home to the majority Hispanic city of Liberal, voting not just for Adam Hamilton, but every single downballot Democrat. The Trump+39 county has been affected by ICE raids and tariffs, and turnout was massive.

In one of the largest overperformances in the House this year Democrat Zach Dembo won the Lexington based 6th district in Kentucky by over 9% after the district voted for Trump by 15% 2 years ago.

With the election in AZ just about at its end, time to do what I do best: Data!
The First Congressional district opened up this year with Rep. Schweikert choosing to run for Governor. Former State Rep. Amish Shah defeated NFL analyst Jay Feely by around 7%.

On Tuesday, Fred Wellman defeated Ann Wagner.
Standing defiant against the odds, he outperformed all expectations and poll averages, winning by 4.9% against the 7-term incumbent-who had sailed to victory by 12% in 2024 in a district that Trump simultaneously carried by 7.9%.

Some counties in Kansas release precinct-level results on election night, and one of those counties is Douglas County, home to Lawrence and the University of Kansas. Douglas is the bluest county in Kansas, and it's no surprise that Hamilton and Holscher walloped here.
Idk why Crenshaw is so upset after losing a primary months ago. It's not like he lost last night.
WATCH: Rep. Dan Crenshaw DESTROYS Rep. Jamie Raskin for BLOCKING three affordability bipartisan bills ahead of the midterms in a HEATED debate
When Democrats run out of answers, they yell Trump corruption! If those same bills pass now that the votes are counted, who's going to ask Democrats why they blocked them before?
"You guys cynically blocked legislation, bipartisan legislation that would reduce— that would help the affordability issue and that would tackle the corruption issue, that would help national security, things that you guys agreed on. You passed your own stuff. I don't know what bill you're talking about. Stop Insider Trading Act, Ratepayer Protection Act, FISA. You guys blocked all of that because the midterms were coming. And I bet you're going to be in favor of it after the midterms. Do not lie and say anything different."

Missouri Speaker of the House Jon Patterson falls to House Rep. Keri Ingle in Senate District 8. Dems flip a second red seat to blue. Patterson voted against the GOP gerrymandered map, but shrugged and allowed it to go through anyway.
