If you want to understand why democrats won, let me use my own area as an example. My county just passed a historic bill that codifies 12 weeks of paid parental leave. As you know, finances are the #1 reason people are waiting to have kids and so this is honestly a huge thing. A newborn's time spent in contact with its parents literally kickstarts brain development and emotional regulation. Who passed this bill? A democrat. Who are the only people i've seen complaining about it? Republicans, who are worried that supporting young people so they can have babies might be too much financial strain on businesses.
