If the presidency flips in 2024 they’ll probably finally get the trifecta in 2026.
They can't even do that in 2018. If 2026 is a DeSantis midterm, the blue wave is very likely smaller than 2018.

They didn’t get a trifecta in 2018 because the State Senate wasn’t up in 2018.

Yes.  If it was up they likely would have won it.  They mainly failed in 2020 because they inexcusably couldn’t beat a Republican incumbent in a double digit Biden district in Rochester that should have been a layup.

They also lost two of their own seats. One was basically a fluke 2016 win reverting to form and the other was an ancestral D but double-digit Trump seat that was trending away from them rapidly.

Yeah, but the seats of their own that they lost were to be expected based on how strongly Trump won them.  They simply needed more pickups in strong Biden districts.

It seems like there have been a lot of states where Democrats won presidential elections fairly frequently in recent decades but rarely won a trifecta: PA, WI, FL, and OH. But Michigan really stands out to me: it looks like Democrats have had a trifecta for one year since the 1930s.
