Voters absolutely punished Trump\u2019s allies almost everywhere. Democrats won in swing states like Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire and North Carolina and in Republican strongholds of Iowa, Kansas, Texas and even South Carolina. Trump\u2019s controversial mid-decade redistricting plan appeared to backfire. And Republican losses allowed Democrats to make history in Georgia, where Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms became the first Black woman elected governor<\/a> in U.S. history, while in Texas, Democrat Gina Hinojosa<\/a> will become its first Latina governor.<\/p>\n
