Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer praised Vice President Kamala Harris and her plan despite her historic loss to President-elect Donald Trump, who won a landslide victory in the national popular vote and the Electoral College.

Schumer emphasized the enormous influence her program would have on the Democratic Party going forward when he promptly pledged his support to Harris, a former Senate colleague, following President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw his reelection campaign in early July.

It was reported by Axios that Schumer was facing a Republican majority of at least 52 seats in the Senate, with Democrats hoping to retain control of key undecided races. If Republicans were to gain more than 52 seats, the majority would shift further away from Schumer, especially in the 2026 midterms. Democrats were noted to have limited opportunities for pickups in the coming two years.

Although Schumer would no longer serve as majority leader after the Senate reconvenes for its new session in January, he called for a level of bipartisanship with Republicans that he had not previously shown over the past four years. Schumer emphasized that bipartisan legislation while upholding core principles, was the only way to accomplish anything in the Senate, and he stated that the next two years would not be any different.

As of Wednesday evening, races in Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania were still undecided. Meanwhile, Donald Trump clinched the White House once again, and with the GOP regaining the Senate, attention was now focused on the House of Representatives.

As election results were unfolding on Tuesday night and into Wednesday, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who had previously been seen as a temporary leader, expressed confidence that House Republicans would maintain their majority and choose him to stay as speaker. Johnson mentioned that a playbook had been in preparation for a year and was expected to guide the next Congress. He suggested that keeping the same leadership team in place would be crucial to executing the strategy with precision.

In an exclusive interview, Johnson stated that he did not foresee a situation where former President Trump could win the White House while the GOP lost the House. He noted that New York and California had always been key to securing the majority, and there was still uncertainty over California’s results. Johnson expressed hope that the ground-level efforts in those areas would be reflected in the final vote tally.

By Thursday, Republicans had secured 206 seats, while Democrats had 191. A majority of 218 seats were required. Trump, who had been the target of two assassination attempts since July, expressed gratitude for his second presidential victory during his 25-minute speech at Trump Headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida. He referred to the victory as a magnificent victory for the American people that would allow for the fulfillment of his agenda to make America great again.

Trump said victory was being claimed in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska, in addition to battleground states like North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Securing at least 315 electoral votes would be the outcome of this. In addition to expressing his joy with winning the popular vote, he noted that the route to victory had been straightforward and devoid of any other possibilities.
