   This Tuesday, President Obama will deliver his farewell address   
   from McCormick Place convention center in Chicago, Illinois —   
   the site of his 2012 re-election celebration. On that night in   
   2012, Democrats defended the White House, held their majority in   
   the Senate, and regained 8 seats in the House; a significant win   
   for the Obama legacy. Zoom out, and the 2012 election is an   
   outlier in the steady and far-reaching electoral losses of   
   Democratic elected officials during the Obama Administration.

   Republican groundswell in state legislatures.   
   In 2009, President Obama’s party controlled both chambers of 27   
   state legislatures. Eight years later, Democrats control both   
   chambers in only 13 states. Among the states that slipped from   
   Democratic control are Wisconsin, North Carolina, Iowa and West   
   Virginia; states key to the victory of President-elect Donald   
   Trump last November. According to a report from the National   
   Conference of State Legislatures, the Democratic Party has lost   
   a net total of 13 Governorships and 816 state legislative seats   
   since President Obama entered office, the most of any president   
   since Dwight Eisenhower.

   A reversal of power in Congress.   
   President Obama entered the White House with his party touting a   
   60 seat majority in the Senate and 257 seat majority in the   
   House. Democrats now hold a 48* seat minority in the Senate and   
   194 seat minority in the House — a net loss of 12 and 64 seats   
   respectively.

   The midterm elections delivered significant blows to   
   Congressional Democrats. In 2010, Democrats lost 6 seats in the   
   Senate and 63 seats in the House, costing them the chamber. In   
   2014, Democrats lost another 13 seats in the House and a   
   staggering 9 seats in the Senate; this time losing them the   
   Senate and completing a Republican takeover of Congress.   
      
   What’s ahead?   
   In 12 days, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President   
   of the United States. The President-elect will enter office with   
   his party in control of both chambers of Congress in addition to   
   32 state legislatures and 33 governorships. This level of   
   legislative control presents President Trump and his party the   
   opportunity to enact their policy agenda with minimal pushback   
   from their Democratic colleagues.
