Dems gained only one swing House seat (so far). So Dem challengers who were progressives lost; Dem challengers who were centrists lost; and everyone in between lost.

And the 6 seats Dems lost (so far) were mostly reddest Dem-held seats in the country, the obvious hanging fruit.
This whole debate about "which type of Dems lost more" is tedious & uninteresting, & not sure what ppl are looking at.

The party as a party didn't do what it hoped in the House, held on to most of its 2018 gains & lost those that'd be 1st to go in a better GOP night than 2018.
Also this analysis does not include New York, & PLEASE stop using New York in your analyses because they have not counted mail, which will swing things massively.

Like, really massively. This is what happened in the NY27 this summer: https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1282910152707002368
