Republicans had excellent results in Tuesday’s high-stakes Senate races, winning numerous tough battles to preserve their majority in the chamber for the next two years.

Overall, there were eight Republican-held seats and one Democrat-held seat that were competitive going into Tuesday night: Illinois, Wisconsin, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Missouri.
Of the nine Republicans in these competitive races, six of them stood by Trump or, in the case of Pennsylvania’s Pat Toomey, didn’t reject him. Three of them, though, explicitly rejected Trump: Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, Mark Kirk in Illinois, and Joe Heck in Nevada.

Heck would be better at the VA or something.
Fort Bend is the most diverse county in Texas and is now only 46% white. The growing minority population is making it lean more Democrat. A county with a similar population makeup is Gwinnett County, Georgia. It also switched to blue this year.
Don’t know about Arizona. We apparently had a bunch of wise Latina’s that really wanted a female president. But at least we delivered.
