Summary
Republicans seem poised to take control of the House of Representatives. But the Senate fight is on a knife's edge.
We discuss the latest in Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona.
We also take a look at how the U.S. voted down the ballot. Millions weighed in on a range of measures from recreational drugs, to abortion rights, to sports betting, and the climate crisis.
We discuss what was approved, what was rejected, and what we can expect to see put to the test in 2024.
