As of course you do know, things are not always what they seem, and certainly not the way the media portrays.
There are no Republicans actually in the California US Senate race, so naturally, the Democrats won there(!) - that is, there were no Republicans that you could vote for because the structure of the Primaries there is gerrymandered so that only two Democrats ended up being on the actual final ballot. And to some extent, this is a reflection of the partisan divide that characterizes the modern US election process and system.
Whereas on the one hand it appears that the Democrats 'won' the Representatives' Chamber (the 'House'), in fact they won seats where they were expected to add to their numbers because of the synchronization of 're-election' timing, in places they overall already completely controlled - Virginia, Florida (but even here only to some extent), Minnesota, Colorado.

And the reality no one in the media is prepared to tell you, is that there are stealth members of the Republican side who are presented as 'Democrats' - not saying here which these are...
At the same time, it is no secret that John McCain detested Donald Trump and the person who has 'inherited' the deceased McCain's Senate seat - John Kyl, worked for Brett Kavanaugh for a long time and is going to be a reliable supporter of the Trump Republican White House -, unlike McCain, who was anything but that. To cut a long story short that in any case you won't believe, Arizona 'has problems' in terms of whether it could ever survive object independent scrutiny about how things are 'run' and 'controlled' there. In fact, I'll tell you right now broadly speaking, it (Arizona) is a stronghold for foreign, 'globalist' interests and is 'not exactly legit.' People on the inside already know all this. ...Yet even so, Kyl is a big win for Trump and adds to Donald Trump's authentic power base in spite of the odds against him in Arizona from the 'globalists' of which McCain was one and worked against Trump at every opportunity.
The system is stacked in two different ways in the USA - firstly, the cities have the edge as far as the Lower House goes; because in this case, the more highly populated places get to send more people to that Chamber. Whereas in the Upper House - the Senate - EACH State gets to send two members no matter what their population sizes are, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT THE SAME STRUCTURE AS IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION; so in this case, the Senate shows no favoritism for population but it means all locations have equal representative voices.
Now, no matter what you think about the fairness of this situation, the fact is, the Republicans increased their Senate numbers and this pretty much means they will continue to win the Presidency all other things being equal come 2020. And so to cut another long story short again, it means the Democrats will be * into the wind for the next several years. And they will let no one down on that front, that's for sure.
The argument is virtually always made that cities are the places where the brainpower is higher, the education is better, et cetera et cetera.
But I would challenge you on that score with this counter argument - the reality is today, cities are the places where there are more street people, more homeless, more bereft, more people who can be bought, more 'dead voting' and false ID's, more graft and corruption.
No. Things are not what they seem - if you just go by what you see on television.
Sure you can believe that people wearing black masks and smashing windows and people and burning and looting and yelling and screaming are all highly educated, upper middle-class, fully-employed intelligent people if you like, and they vote (modern) Democrat because they are smart - you can believe that if you like. And then, magically, all the intelligent University-educated middle-class people voted Democrat in the hope that one day the enlightened Linda Sarsour will become President...
Personally, my suggestion is you stack up on the popcorn and sit back to enjoy the lunatic humor of modern politics.
