Democrats prepare to take Congress as GOP grapples with stunning losses
After Democrats' sweeping House and Senate victories, the party is laying out how it plans to wield power, while President Trump and Republicans react to their midterm losses.
What the coverage shows
The outlets mostly converge on Democrats emerging from the midterms with new leverage and Republicans scrambling to absorb heavy losses. NBC News is the only outlet to frame the story as a policy checklist, focusing on five healthcare fights Democrats could pursue, while CBS News and Ben Shapiro lead more on the broader partisan fallout. The Guardian’s coverage is the most editorialized, with one piece calling it a Republican rout and another, separately, highlighting a live race in Mississippi.
