Judging by a quick 30-min search/read on the topic, it appears that nothing unexpected happened. The political vote forecasters were accurate...and if anything deviated from expectation, the democratic candidates did better than expected. It doesn't look like this will have any effect now, or on the 2018 elections. I don't see what the big deal is (but I still don't know much about the candidates, either).
Did you miss the $30 mil?
