Election outcomes take shape one week later Election outcomes take shape one week later Pam / Wednesday, November 16, 2022 0 15622 Article rating: 4.0 One week after Election Day, we finally have a good idea of what the next two years will look like on Capitol Hill.

Even with the Senate race in Georgia headed to a run-off next month, Democrats know they will be in control of the Senate at least until 2024.
