Larger Midterm Win: 1994 for the GOP or 2006 for the Dems

[OSR stands with Israel]

I have decided to make this a tournament series which I will do the  8 largest midterm wins in the post war era(im going with 1946 , 1958, 1974, 1994, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018) and today the matchup will be 1994 vs 2006 .

Both were elections where the opposition party took both houses of congrees , with one chamber being a chamber nobody would have expected a couple of months before the election(the House for the GOP in 1994 and Senate for the Dems in 2006) . Im going with 1994 for this one

2006, man. Democrats did not lose a single seat in the House. That’s a truly impressive feat.

Its pretty close but I think the fact the GOP made more gains at the Gubernatorial gives them the edge there , and the major gains state legislature level.

At the Congressional level I think it was around the same but at the state level , 1994 gets the edge

could the GOP downballot numbers have been prevented if Bush had won again? Otoh, Harry Blackmun was already mid 80s by the 92 election and he might have just given up.

If Bush won again there is a chance 1994 could have happened in 1992 but if it didnt then no then 1994 doesnt happen in a 14th year itch .

You mean 1998 right?

no I mean if Bush won in 1992 by a confrontable margin like he was expected to in 1991 the Republicans could have potentially taken congress in 1992 .

is there a president for not holding the u.s. house for twelve years in the white house and then winning it back?

Well not really but remember Truman won back the house for the Democrats in 1948
