Democrats "hidden good news" in election results, according to Nate Silver

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Trump improved with nearly every voter group but particularly gained ground with young voters and Hispanic voters, who have traditionally been key to Democratic victories.
58% : They're also hoping to make a comeback in the 2026 midterms, as they did in 2018, two years after Trump was first elected to office.
57% : The close nature of the House of Representatives, even as Trump is winning the popular vote, could also be a good sign for Democrats, he wrote.
42% : Although Trump carried the state, suburbs of Atlanta shifted toward Harris along with a few other pockets across the country.
41% : He wrote that Democrats "lost the most votes in the places where those votes were most wasted," such as states like Illinois, New Jersey and New York, three states where Trump made substantial gains but still voted comfortably to the left of the national popular vote.
36% : He wrote that the "hidden good news" for Democrats is that their "structural disadvantages in the House, Senate and Electoral College are now much less," Silver wrote.
