Commentary

In the recent midterm elections, to no one’s surprise, the Democratic Party won control of the House of Representatives. Perhaps slightly more surprising, Republicans expanded their majority in the Senate. As this is being written, there are still a couple of undecided House races, but in most places, the ink is dry and the business of governing can commence. The exception is in my state, Mississippi.
