Democrats Take the House and Senate. What Just Happened?
The political landscape is shifting, and the latest election results have plenty to unpack.
The Democrats are celebrating wins in both the House and Senate, but some of the victories raise bigger questions about the direction of the party and the priorities of its voters.
