Multiple media outlets are reporting that the Democrats will re-take the House of Representatives, but the Senate is another story. The GOP will not only hold the Senate, but might even pick up some extra seats. And the Kavanaugh hearings might have had a lot to do with that:

BIG TIME backfire: Guess what ‘every Dem senator in a competitive race’ who LOST have in common?

In all honesty - all but one Democratic Senator voted against Kavanaugh, whether or not they were in a competitive race.
The ones who lost were Senators in fairly conservative states, so the likelihood of their re-election was poor.
And Manchin's race was CLOSE, where he was polling in excess of 60% this past summer.

Brett Kavanaugh has been sitting on the Supreme Court for only a month, and the memory of his confirmation hearings cast a strong shadow over the Tuesday congressional elections. You could ask Sens. Claire McCaskill in Missouri, Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota or Joe Donnelley in Indiana. Several Democrats in competitive races who voted against his confirmation lost. Sen. Joe Manchin from West Virginia, the only Democrat who voted to confirm him, won.
