Conor Lamb won his race

[Spazito]

40. Yes, the Democrats are still the majority...

by a comfortable margin. The Dems won 40 seats in 2018 and it looks like there were a loss of 7 or possibly only 5 in this last election.

I have to admit I don't understand the kerfuffle about these few losses, especially as they are, from what I gather, in Districts which, until 2018, were reliably republican seats.

Democrats came out in record numbers but so did republicans so there should be little surprise those few seats were lost.

Post election analysis is important but it needs to be done 'surgically' and not emotionally, imo.
