Exit polls show majority of Black men and women voted for Kamala Harris

Despite much hand-wringing about whether Black men would jump ship from the Democratic Party and vote in droves for Donald Trump, election exit polls tell a different story.

Control of the U.S. House hangs in the balance with enormous implications for Trump’s agenda

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. House majority hung in the balance Wednesday, teetering between Republican control that would usher in a new era of unified GOP governance in Washington or a flip to Democrats as a last line of resistance to a Trump second-term White House agenda.

Why Kamala Harris lost, explained
