The Democratic party won the White House in the 2020 election, but it wasn’t as successful elsewhere.

Despite making historic gains in the House during the 2018 midterms, Democrats weren't able to expand their majority last week.

President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are getting ready to lead the country.

Although President Donald Trump was denied a second term, Republicans did not go away empty-handed on Election Day.

"We have a slimmer Democratic majority.  It's going to be more important than ever for us to work together and not fight each other,” says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York).

At least seven Democrats lost House seats, while voters helped the GOP hold firm in many suburban areas that Democrats were hoping to win.

"We have to bring all parts, our Democratic party is not as united as I wish it could be some days.  It's going to force us to listen to each other and try to find ways to get some really important things for the American people done," says Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Michigan).

As for control of the Seante, all eyes are on Georgia. Incumbent Republican senators Kelly Loeffler and David Purdue are in a tight run against Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

"If these Senate races go to the Dems, Kamala becomes the tie breaking vote, and it becomes much, much more likely that Joe can push forward the kind of robust agenda our country needs to rebuild right now," says Andrew Yang, former Democratic presidential candidate.

However, if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell keeps his position, President-elect Biden will likely have to adjust his goals over the next four years.

Georgia hasn't had a democratic senator in 20 years.

Despite that, Democrats are optimistic, especially after Biden did well in Georgia and 800,000 new voters were registered in the last two years.
