The big takeaway from tonight is that, no, most Americans are not willing to watch their democracy die. Extremist Republicans are losing everywhere except extremist Republican strongholds. In swing districts and states, they are not winning. They are being turned away left and right.

So, it's a win for our democracy that will put us in a great position for 2024, regardless of how the House eventually turns out.
