Democrats had a sweeping election night, flipping governorships, state legislatures, and even deep-red seats, in what looks like a major rebuke of Trump and the GOP.

• Mississippi's Senate race is a nail-biter, with the Democrat ahead by a slim margin and no automatic recount rule in the state, so it may need a judge to settle it.
• The whole South and Sunbelt swung hard toward Democrats, with places like Texas, Georgia, and Mississippi shifting 20+ points, a region Republicans long took for granted.
• Nine of the ten most populous states, including Texas and California, will now have Democratic governors, and Democrats are set to control roughly 55-56 Senate seats.
• Billions in Republican spending, including heavy culture-war and anti-trans advertising, didn't move voters who were more angry about high gas prices, an unpopular war, and corruption scandals tied to Trump and allies.
• Pollsters once again underestimated Democratic support almost everywhere, likely out of fear of repeating past misses rather than trusting their own numbers.

Outlook: Expect the Mississippi race to stay contested for a while, and for Republicans to face internal fights over whether to blame the war, corruption, or candidate quality for the losses.
