Republicans faced significant midterm losses despite redistricting efforts, while Democratic leaders now signal plans to use budgetary controls to end the war with Iran.
Democratic party leaders and political analysts spoke with Morning Edition about the results of the midterm elections, the effects of mid-decade redistricting efforts, and the next steps for the party. Republicans lost most of the Democratic-held seats they had targeted to flip, lost others they had banked on retaining and got swept out of power by a Democratic surge fueled by voter dissatisfaction with Trump, the economy and the war with Iran.
NPR reported the story as "Democratic leaders reflect on midterm results and what's next for the party." PBS NewsHour reported the story as "Trump-backed redistricting sought a midterm edge for Republicans. It didn't work."
