US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyElection night ratings are in: one cable news channel led primetime with 4.3 million average viewers. CNN was second at 4.1 million, and MS NOW third at 3.7 million, its first major election night since rebranding.
Democrats also won back the House and Senate, including seats in South Carolina, Texas, Kansas and Iowa. Hakeem Jeffries is set to become the first Black House speaker, while it is unclear whether Chuck Schumer can regain the Senate majority leader post after several newly elected Democrats said they won't back him.
