Once Mississippi and Alaska are confirmed it'll likely be 56-44. If you're not familiar with how the US Senate works, only a third of representatives are up for election each time. A lot of states have been considered solidly red or blue for a long time (with little change even with all the shit Trump has done up to this point), with only a handful of states being seen as competitive, but Democrats broke that gridlock in many states that people would've thought impossible. Kansas hasn't had a Democratic senator in nearly a century.
The senate was designed to limit popular momentum, but conversely, it also means that the senators that were elected yesterday won't be up for reelection for another 6 years. It'll be difficult if not impossible for the Republicans to regain control before then. If Democrats win the presidency in 2028 (which seems likely with Trump being unpopular), then we'll be looking at a Democratic trifecta, which hasn't happened since the first two years of Obama.
Also, Texas going blue is monumental. It has ~~a bajillion~~ 40 electoral votes in our stupid system so it fundamentally reshapes the path to a presidential win.
