How big is the Republican midterms loss, and is there a silver lining?

Democrats have wrested control of both chambers of Congress from Republicans in the midterm elections, dealing President Donald Trump a major setback. They have won 228 seats in the House, compared with 139 for Republicans, and lead in 34 uncalled races; winning them all could give Democrats more than 260 seats. In the Senate, Democrats have secured 54 seats to Republicans’ 44, their clearest majority since 2008. Democratic candidates also flipped key seats in traditional Republican strongholds, including Kansas, Texas and South Carolina.
