The Presidency is this biggest prize in American politics, so obviously republicans should feel gutted by losing it. That being said, everything else on election night went about as well as they could have possibly dreamed. They’ll still control the Senate, which basically neuters Biden’s presidency before it starts. Then with the shocking results across the country on election night, they’ve put themselves in prime position to win back the house in two years. And on top of that, conservatives rule the federal judiciary.
