Congressional Updates
The results of the mid-term elections continue to be counted, but by all accounts, the result is a stunner. Few, if any, polls forecast the widespread gains Democrats made in races in virtually every state up and down the ballot. This is largely perceived of a rebuke to the President and the Republicans, but Democrats will have to resist overplaying their hand if they intend to recapture the White House in 2028. The impact of the results of this election are just beginning to be felt across Washington, DC, as implications for the lame duck session of Congress and the impending 120th Congress begin to come into focus.
