I'm happy that we now have control of the House....I wish it could have been both the House and the Senate, though

I'm satisfied. I think the results could be better, but I have to admit, I was really nervous about how this election would turn out. Trump was really firing up his base with constant talk about the "invasion" of the caravan and all we had to fear from it. (and I have to admit, I was a little afraid to go to the poll. I was afraid some crazy person who had been wound up by all this talk would do something. All was good though! And I wouldn't have missed the chance to vote!)

Oh and I'm angry that Stacey Abrams is still in the fight when we ALL know that so many people weren't allowed to vote....I just hope she wins this battle!!

I am satisfied.Would have been great if dems could have taken the majority in the Senate as well but it was expected that they wouldn't. I love that a lot of women won. Looking forward to dems having oversite powers over the administration.

I'm satisfied we finally have some checks and balances. I'm sad that Georgia and Florida can't get out of their own way.

Agree re Stacy Abrams and Andrew Gillam......we know there was blocking of votes in GA....so ugly.
I'm of course happy about the House but wish we had gotten the Senate, too. Feel bad about Beto O'Rourke.
Well......could have been worse.
Happy to see/hear you guys. Stick around, ok?
Anyone watch that awful 90 minute press conference? I watched from work and was fascinated by the mental shortages of this president. It's disconcerting to put it mildly. He's a crazy man who appeals to the worst uneducated or bigoted population in this country. We need a couple of days to decompress but then we have to continue the good fight. Just my humble opinion...... 2 years will go very fast.....actually less than 2.

Wow I'm glad that Stacey Abrams And Andrew Gilliam are still in the fight. Although Gilliam had conceded "his" loss, they found many more votes that weren't counted....
I wish them both luck and success!
Oh... and Rick Scott and Bill Nelson are still duking it out too, in the Senate race!

I guess we continue to watch the results come in. I think all ballots should be counted no matter how long it takes. I often wondered how, in the past, results were tallied so quickly. The spotlight is shining light on a lot of things and this may be one of them.

So Abrams and Gillum didn't make it.....Kyrsten Sinema won in AR....Yay! Jared Golden in Maine....
What other Dems won? It was a slow blue WAVE!
