This is true, but only part of the story. The '18 midterms were not normal midterm losses - they were significantly larger than that. You'd expect Democrats to get a bump in special elections being out of power … a bump that would typically be half, at most, of what they've actually gotten. There's a valid point you are making here but it doesn't come close to explaining what we're seeing, across the board.
