Back when this country could acknowledge that it had more than two parties 😔

I’m curious why Maine and Vermont voted Republican.

Vermont seems to have the most unique electoral history. Just last year they voted overwhelmingly for a Democrat, Republican, and Independent on the same ballot. Hell Bernie’s own seat has never been held by a Democrat.

This is especially funny because there used to be a saying “As Maine goes, so goes the country.” (Don’t know how accurate it was.) So when Maine got called early for the GOP, Republicans cheered that the country was indeed rejecting this class warrior and restoring the country to Hooverian sanity.
After the elections, Democrats crowed, “As Maine goes, so goes Vermont.”

So, the democratic majorities in Congress seem incredibly impressive which they were (78 out of 96 senate seats and 334 out of 435 house seats) but parties weren’t divided along ideological lines and were just ways for candidates to receive funding. So, while the democrats majority looks completely insurmountable the progressive coalition of northern democrats and “me too” republicans, or republicans that supported the new deal, had somewhat slim majorities compared to the massive majorities democrats had in both chambers.
The progressive coalition would lose their majority in the 1938 midterms even though democrats controlled 262 house seats and 69 senate seats the conservative coalition of traditional republicans and southern democrats was in charge.

If the Democrats actually locked in they can probably get something like this. Maybe not as big but definitely a landslide
