The Midterms of the New Deal for Democrats

Democrats now have a 51 seat majority in the Senate is an outright majority, not a 50 50 tie like they've had for the past two years. The last time that happened was 1934 when obviously that was perhaps the best midterm a president's party has ever had. I think because of things that we've seen with the Republican Party, Donald Trump's influence, some of these Senate candidates in particular, that Republicans just weren't an attractive alternative for a lot of voters who weren't necessarily happy with the state of the country but said, eh, that's like a bridge too far.
