Trump's red wave hasn't happened. Not that there's been a blue wave either, but some causes for cautious optimism.
My summary for UK friends is below. I vote in Pennsylvania and got confirmation my postal ballot was counted. Pennsylvania senate seat switches to Dems! Not such good news in the House so far. The Pennsylvania election-denier governor has also been ousted by a Dem. But the Texan Rep governor stays. Mid-terms usually favour the non-ruling party, but the 'red wave' Trump predicted certainly hasn't materialised, with Trump-promoted candidates mostly losing. Except Florida. Fuck Florida. A bunch of rulings have passed to protect rights in various states - access to voting, abortion, etc. So all in all mildly positive, but not a revolution. The House looks to stay Rep-majority but possibly by only one vote.
