Fascinating to watch the mood from Democrats this morning. Even though they believe that Biden will win, they're sour. That's odd, because supposedly this election was all about getting rid of Orange Man Bad. But that's the dirty secret: it wasn't. It was about power.
And this election did not give the Democrats power. Tuesday night was terrible for Dems. It broke their vision for an ascendant intersectional coalition. GOP will likely maintain the Senate. GOP will maintain the statehouses in a redistricting year. GOP gained House seats.
GOP well-positioned for 2022 in the House and Senate. Biden's most progressive priorities are DOA in a McConnell-run Senate. But remember: Democrats told you that their top priority was "restoring the national soul" by ousting Trump. They're sad today because that was a lie.
