| One thing to know: Republicans are grappling with disappointing midterm election performances across the country, and some members of the party have started to pivot away from former President Donald Trump. |
| • | DeSantis is rising after Trump is under fire over the midterms. After Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis cruised to a blockbuster reelection win last week, some supporters cheered for him to start planning another campaign: a 2024 Republican presidential bid against Donald Trump. | | • | After Masto secured her seat over the weekend, Democrats are guaranteed control of Congress' upper chamber no matter the outcome of a Dec. 6 run-off in Georgia between incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker. | | • | Republicans have a much easier path to control of the House than Democrats. And in the meantime, Democrats are jockeying to push through whatever they can in the upcoming weeks of the lame-duck session before the new Congress is seated. | |
