This article is talking about Democratic wins in actual elections.
It's a radical thought, but do you think reading the actual article would help to convey this subtle point?
edit: for example, the first paragraph:
"Democrats have secured majority control of the Pennsylvania House and moved within one seat of ending Republican control of the New Hampshire House. Those wins are not aberrations. They are the latest measures of a nationwide blue wave that has seen Democrats outperform expectations in 24 of 30 special elections for open state legislative seats this year. Legislative contests that were once considered local or regional races are being nationalized, as concerns about abortion rights and voting rights—two issues that are up for grabs in statehouses—are putting Republican candidates in a perilous position."

I think it's important to recall that there are people within and outside the US who are doing all they can to make the US dysfunctional politically and administratively.
I agree, but did you reply to the right person?
