Democrats reeling after historic defeat

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse – who was just reelected to another term – tweeted out a quote this morning from the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy about how terrible things are. This shows how Democrats are feeling after former President Donald Trump led Republicans to a dramatic beatdown of their party.

Democrats got wiped out in the Senate. And their hopes of picking up the House seem to be fading. Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to give a concession speech later today.
