Kind of like in 2010, IIRC, this isn't really a repudiation of anything, though the GOP will try to say it is. Voter turnout was remarkably low. The Democrats increased their seats in both chambers of Congress and won the plurality of the popular vote for POTUS. So even while the GOP retains control of both chambers and won the white house by electoral votes, the people that voted actually went left, and more of them would have if the Democrats had put up a decent candidate.
It was business as usual with a slight lean to the left.
