Republicans would have gone from the first party in modern history to get completely voted out as fast as they were voted in to the first trifecta to reassert itself after losing it in a midterm.
I image if Biden won the PV by 3.3, this would of happened. Ossoff not getting his runoff, but Warnock, Peters, and Kelly still winning. Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia would have stayed Republican and maybe the GOP gets to 219 or 220 seats.
Of course it would make the Democrats look like the worst opposition in history (instead of Trump being the worst modern President in history) but if Republicans had say a three seat majority in the House and one or two seat majority in the Senate, I doubt that they would try to repeal Obamacare again or anything like that.
Things I definitely see happening:
Obamacare gets overturned on newly reasoned (or very old) constitutional rights
It would have emboldened state legislatures an opportunity to leverage a right wing supermajority on SCOTUS
It would be an indictment on the Democratic Establishment which would allow 2022 to be a very good year for Democrats or see 2022 cap the period where we transition into a dominant party system.
