Midterms the Presidential party almost always looses seats. But we gained in the Senate. Only other first term Presidents to do that were W Bush, JFK and both Roosevelts since 1900.
The Pres party averages loosing 26 seats in the House and 6 in the Senate.
We did not loose Congress...if we had impeachment would have succeeded.
