There was a blue surge in the suburbs last night
Nassau County, Westchester County, New Jersey, suburban Seattle, and so many suburban House of Delegates districts in Virginia that Democrats might have stunningly flipped the chamber once all the votes are counted (and certainly went from 35 seats to at least 48 out of 100).
If educated and well-off suburbanites continue to vote Democrat in large numbers, a LOT of US House seats and state legislatures will flip next year. The GOP based a bunch of gerrymandered maps on having reliably red suburban voters. If they don't...things could get ugly for them.
