Midterm results reshape the congressional outlook

Reports describe Democratic gains across federal and state races, including Democrats flipping Georgia’s state House and controlling at least 12 legislative chambers; Republicans retained Georgia’s Senate. Projections of 54 Senate seats and 254 House seats remain subject to unresolved races, and would still fall short of overriding presidential vetoes. A reported poll found 71% want Congress to pass legislation, but its methods and respondents’ priorities are unclear.
