Day After Day, I’m More Confused

07 Nov Day After Day, I’m More Confused

Much will be written in detail about yesterday’s election over the coming weeks and months, but we wanted to provide some quick initial takeaways on the results for the US Congress. In the House, Democrats have won at least 26 seats to capture the majority for the first time since 2010. As of this morning, there are 23 races that are still to be decided, with Democrats currently leading in up to nine of them, so the majority is likely to increase slightly over the coming days. Regardless of the final outcome, the House will look completely different with at least __ new Members across both parties coming to Washington in January. It was a much different story in the Senate, where Republicans look likely to increase their majority by up to four seats, knocking off at least three Democratic incumbents with two seats currently held by Democrats (FL and MT) and one open seat still to close to call (AZ), and one (MS) headed for a runoff where the Republican is favored.
