1. Republicans' historically narrow majority got even smaller.
2. Republicans continue to struggle in the suburbs.
3. Democrats showed they can defend themselves on immigration.
4. Abortion rights continue to be something Democrats will run on with good reason.
5. Candidates and money do matter.
NPR is spot on on the 5 point above. Hopefully a sign of what's to come in the general.

Absolutely inspiring, and I like the fact that he thanked so many different groups that helped elect him.
