Not all have been "special elections". There were "off year" (when it comes to "federal" ) STATE LEGISLATIVE elections with flipped seats.

Look at what happened in VA last year, where 13 seats were flipped - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Virginia_House_of_Delegates_election

And in NJ, where 5 seats were flipped - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_New_Jersey_General_Assembly_election

There is a popular saying about "the trend is your friend" and the hope in this case, is that the trend continues.
