Republicans not only picked up a massive 63 House and six Senate seats; they also gained six governorships and 680 state legislative seats.
In 2006, a Democratic landslide saw that party gain 31 House seats, six Senate seats, six governorships, and over 300 state legislative seats.
Hundreds of state legislative seats are also in play.
Another 202 Republican-held state Senate seats also fit the bill, though not all will be up for election because many states stagger senatorial terms.
Many Democrats hold state legislative seats in districts carried by Trump.
Nineteen of the 77 Republican members of the Minnesota state House are on the danger list: the GOP would lose control if it lost 11 of those seats.
Only 18 of the Georgia GOP's 115 state House seats are endangered, but they're in the once heavily Republican, high-income suburbs of Atlanta.
