Election of 2018 (Durant Scenario)

Congressional Elections
In 2018, 33 Class 1 Senate seats were up for election, alongside two special elections: one in Mississippi and one in Minnesota. Ultimately, the extremely close states resulted in a 52-48 Republican Senate. Democrats fared better in the House, losing only 1 seat, giving Speaker Ryan a 223-212 majority. Rep, Mattox of Massachusetts was made minority leader.

Gubernatorial Elections
In an extremely surprising turn of events, Democrats made 7 gains in the races for governor. Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, and Maine all elected Democratic governors.
