President Trump can claim, with some merit, that the 2018 midterm elections went well for his party. Especially if the results hold in Florida, Republicans did well, considering the hurricane-force winds blowing in their faces. But either way, Trump has still lost his House majority. That’s not a small thing.

Trump will now be subjected to constant investigation unless and until he gets it back. His agenda, to the extent that it is a Republican agenda, will also be cut off in the House.
