People across America who hoped to wake up this morning to news of a presidential result are as disappointed as as Democrats who suffered an “abject disaster” based on the results so far, according to political pundits who are filling airtime on television networks across the dial as we wait for more results to be counted and released.

As of early Wednesday morning, results in Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin were still too close to call, leaving the outcome of the presidential election hanging in the balance. But the overarching theme, regardless of whether President Trump wins re-election or if he is unseated by former Vice President Joe Biden, was the underperformance across the board of Democratic candidates on down-ticket races.
Democratic hopes of taking control of the Senate appear to have been dashed, while Republicans also picked up seats in the House of Representatives. Key Senate races in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina were still too close to call as of Wednesday morning, but were trending Republican.
As many as 25 million votes were still left to be counted as of Wednesday morning, which will ultimately determine who wins the presidential election. The difference between the candidates was less than 10,000 votes in a number of states, including Nevada and Wisconsin.
Democrats were predicted to take control of the Senate and cruise to a victory for the White House, according to poll after poll that was released in the days leading up to yesterday’s election.
The results are likely to throw Capitol Hill into “chaos” for the next two years, until the 2022 mid-term elections, no matter who wins the White House, according to one political expert who was speaking on MSNBC this morning.
