Four seats for a net majority, one upset in South Carolina, and the headline reads like a victory lap before the votes are even counted. Where’s the margin? Turnout by county? Precinct-level data that shows where Andrews actually peeled off Republicans? Nothing in the summary tells me how a deep-red state flipped, only that it did. A pediatrician beating an incumbent sounds great on a banner.
Four seats, one incumbent upset, zero context on turnout or margins. Show me the numbers first.
Four seats, a pediatrician, and a South Carolina incumbent gone, and somehow everyone still acts shocked that midterms happen every two years like a bad sitcom rerun. I’ve watched this movie so many times I know the popcorn-to-plot ratio by heart. Ads screamed, donors wrote checks they’ll regret, and the voters did what voters do: quietly decided. Funny how the whole circus ends with a single sentence in a results table.
