Three days after final ballots were cast in the 2022 midterm elections, Americans are still waiting to learn which party will control the House and Senate next year.
WASHINGTON — Americans were still waiting Friday to learn which party will control the House and Senate next year.
While Democrats may still lose control of the House, party lawmakers and strategists sounded a positive note about stopping a red wave and keeping the margin close. White House spokesman Andrew Bates said Democratic agenda items like “lowering prescription drug costs and standing up for reproductive rights,” and driving that contrast with Republicans were “crucial to winning independents, turning out young people, and defying the odds in one of the hardest midterm environments on record.”
Drew Hammill, spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., responded:"The Minority Leader’s incoherent letter is nothing more than a desperate attempt to distract from the unmitigated disaster that was his party’s performance in the midterm election — one that only looks worse as ballots continue to get counted."
"It’s going to be a tough two years, period, for whoever is in power. But there are things we just have to get done these next few years," she said, adding that Democrats have to focus on understanding kitchen-table issues and doing a better job of delivering the message on jobs and crime.
