My feeling was right - it was actually a good midterm for Democrats.

These things are never certain. Nonetheless . . . I think a combination of Roe's overturning and all the truly startlingly bad candidates in certain swing states contributed to a mostly positive Democractic party result in the midterms. Of course . . . Since Cable News abhors a speculative vacuum, the speculation on who might run in 2024 started the day after the election was called - we can't have dead air, can we?.
