So the media has called Biden as the winner. And obviously, Trump is going to challenge this. But if even if it fails, Republicans still had a lot of wins this past election, which will really benefit them in the future:
– Republicans will likely hold onto their Senate majority (Georgia will be the key to who has it)
– Republicans gained seats in the House
– Republicans gained more state legislatures (New Hampshire Senate and Alaska House), which will allow them to redistrict certain states in their favor for the next decade
– Republicans gained another governor (Montana)
Now that the Republicans have a lot more state legislatures, this will allow them to redistrict a lot of states. This might help them regain the House in 2022 (and possibly expand their Senate majority). And in 2024, if the Republicans can nominate someone who is like Trump minus his polarizing attitude, then they will win.
So even though things seem bad now, the night is always darkest before the dawn
