Progressives had a rough go of it Tuesday in the November elections, picking up only five House seats in a midterm cycle that included nearly a dozen hard-left House, gubernatorial, and Senate candidates.

Their defeats easily outweigh their victories, and the losses are undoubtedly painful as they include big-ticket items like the $66-plus million Georgia governor’s race and the $107-plus million Texas Senate race. Similar to the Democratic Party’s overall showing in the 2018 midterm election cycle, the best progressives can say is that they had an OK night.
