I had to do a couple of assessments and just got back, so I didn't see it.
But, I can imagine President Trump declared it a winning night for himself and all in the Republican party who lined up with him. I'll search out the video in a bit and check it out.
Gaining a couple of seats in the Senate was a win for Trump and company, for sure. Red state Dems are becoming extinct.
But, there's no realistic denial that the midterm results are a big victory for the Democrats (and the country, in my opinion). They got control of a branch of Congress by more seats than needed and picked up at least 7 governorships. That will result in big changes for Trump and the Republicans, no doubt about it.
I hope the Dems investigate what needs to be looked into in order to restart Congress's role as a check on the Executive, without overreaching and going down every rabbit hole.
And, I expect to see Pelosi do what she does best - find common ground and work out bi-partisan deals to get some things done for the country. There could be some real opportunity, if Trump decides to be President to ALL Americans, when it comes to issues like infrastructure, healthcare protections and improvements, immigration reform...
