I don't know about you, dear reader, but I am officially a bit groggy. We were awake into the wee hours of the morning watching the election results roll in. As you've likely already read elsewhere, Democrats took control of the House AND the Senate - and by a safe margin:
Some of these wins are historic and noteworthy:
Keisha Lance Bottoms is also the first black woman governor of any state since these United States formed the union.
As of this writing, there are 231 House and 54 Senate seats won by Democrats. Those are both comfortable leads, and may only get larger.
*whew* - we can all sigh in relief. What still remains to be seen is what Diaper Don and his minions do between now and Jan 03. You know they won't be slinking off with their tails between their legs.
Votes were still being tallied and key races remained uncalled as Election Day came to an end. But as of 1 a.m. ET on Wednesday, when the last polls closed in Alaska, Democrats were projected to gain more than three dozen seats in the House and as many as nine seats in the Senate — far beyond the three and four seats, respectively, that they needed to retake each chamber. They were also on track to win the majority of governorships for the first time since 2011.
Some of these wins are historic and noteworthy:
Keisha Lance Bottoms
Democratic candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms is projected by ABC News to become the next governor of Georgia -- beating billionaire Rick Jackson in the closely watched race...

Dr. Amy Acton
Dr. Amy Acton, the former director of the Ohio Department of Health, is projected to defeat GOP opponent Vivek Ramaswamy for the Ohio governor's seat.
