The TL;DR of it is that democrats won just about everything possible, and typically with large margins.

Trump's approval rating (per 3 recent polls) sits at 37% and just 30% with independent voters. He is underwater on the economy and immigration, which were his two big issues.

People largely see immigration as a solved problem now that the border is closed, so as the ICE raids become more brutal, expensive, invasive, and extrajudicial, they are a bad issue for him.

Similarly on the economy, 61% of respondents in one poll said Trump's policies are actively worsening the economy. People were willing to give him time to address the afffordability issues, but the overriding sense is that he has not done that.

We are in the longest government shutdown in US history, 44 million peoplle are set to go hungry soon (during which time he's building himself a gilded ballroom), and people are very concerned about the state of democracy in America (also a bad issue for him).

If republicans get their way, many people's health insurance premiums will go up by $1,000/month, which was unpopular for some reason. That is the reason for the extended shutdown.

And when democrat Adelita Grijalva finally gets sworn in (she won in a landslide with 69% of the vote) she will be the decisive signature on a discharge petition to release the Epstein Files.
