There was an article on The Hill about Democrats underperforming in state legislative races as well.

haven't seen any coverage of it.

I think the 2 most important goals of the fascists were keeping the US Senate and gaining more control of local/state to gerrymander.

As expected, the TV just drones on and on and on about the presidential race. One would think they'd be glad to fill the time with news of local races instead of just repeating themselves and doing "but if" segments.
