GO BACK TO HOME

After a historic midterm election, Democrats defied historical trends and President Donald Trump’s approval ratings to gain control of the United States Senate. They did so by a combination of resurgent political power and voter disdain for the President’s extremist policies.

In addition to winning a net of four state legislative chambers, Democrats held losses in several other states to a minimum, a remarkable feat of political defiance that is unprecedented for a president’s party in midterm elections. This holds the promise of boosting Democratic congressional and presidential majorities, but it also means that many more Americans will live in states run by partisan trifectas for the first time since World War II.

The Democrats’ success this year was driven by a combination of factors: weak Republican candidates; concern about the Supreme Court’s recent ruling overturning abortion rights and the backlash against Trump’s election denialism; and the party’s shift into a populist position that voters perceived as appealing to middle-class voters. These factors helped fuel a series of competitive races that saw a wave of Democrat wins in red and blue states.

For example, Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman upset a conservative candidate for the Senate seat of Pat Toomey, who had been appointed to fill out Biden’s term in 2016. In another race, Democrat Seth Magaziner beat a longtime Republican politician in Rhode Island’s Second Congressional District, an area that Biden won by more than 15 points.

A few of these newcomers, however, were unable to convey the shift in rhetorical tone that had been a key component of the Democratic campaign. In the Senate, for instance, a number of incumbents who might have struggled against an ideologically extreme Republican candidate in previous cycles, such as Colorado’s Michael Bennet or California’s Kamala Harris, did not even try to distinguish themselves from their opponents by aligning with the Party’s new populist economic platform.

These messengers did not perform well, and many voters felt that the Party’s messaging was faulty. This contributed to the Party’s reversal of fortunes, with the Electoral College tipping toward the Democrats’ favor by nearly two points.

The party also lost ground in a number of battleground states, including Florida, Ohio and North Carolina. But it kept its strongholds in Massachusetts, Maryland and likely California as well as a number of other states that are traditionally Democratic or lean blue.

By retaking the Senate, Democrats prevented President Trump from confirming his picks for federal agencies and the judiciary, a process that is typically fraught with legal challenges from the President’s political opponents. It also slowed Trump’s efforts to replace the Supreme Court and thwarted any plans to launch a wide-ranging investigation into possible crimes by the former President and his campaign team.

In the House, Democrats won a net of seven seats, but they lost five in competitive districts. Nevertheless, they have gained three veto-proof supermajorities and are likely to retain a majority in the next Congress.

These results suggest that the Party will need to be more consistent in conveying its populist message and addressing the issues voters care about most. This will likely require more than simply reviving its signature policy initiatives of the Obama administration, such as free college tuition and the enhanced Child Tax Credit.
