Morning news brief
The most telling detail here is Trump's refusal to take blame for the GOP's midterm showing. That's not surprising, but it matters because it shapes how Republicans decide what to do next. If the party's most influential figure won't acknowledge a problem, then any course correction has to happen around him, not with him.
Democrats planning their agenda is the other half of this story, and it's worth watching how they prioritize. They have a narrow window before the new Congress is seated, and whatever they choose to push first will say a lot about what they think voters rewarded them for. I'd want to know whether they lead with kitchen-table economics or go back to the issues that dominated the last campaign cycle.
As for the uncounted ballots, those are the quiet part. Every undecided race carries a lesson about turnout, messaging, and where each party's base actually showed up. Until those are resolved, both sides are really just guessing at what the election meant.
