What happened
Erick Erickson predicted that the Republicans would lose seats in both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, citing trends in early voting and internal polling. In Delaware, GOP candidates lost races for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House. With these losses, the Democratic party gained a supermajority in the General Assembly.
