As of 1:55 pm, Nov. 7, 2018,  Midterm election results: Democrats take control of the House at 50.6% vs. Republican’s 45.1% (416 out of 435 seats are declared), Republicans expands Senate majority at 51% over Democrat’s 44% (97 out of 100 seats are declared). A new Democratic majority will restore the U.S. Constitution’s checks and balances to the  Trump administration. It’s a tight race in state of Florida: Florida Governor position is won by Republican Ron DeSantis at 49.7% over Democrat Andrew Gillum’s 49%. U.S. Senate election results for Florida: Republican Rick Scott won at 50.2% over Democrat Bill Nelson’s 49.8%. So, both Florida Senator and Florida Governor election will need to be recounted. (Please refer to: Florida Has Three Legal Recounts For Midterm Elections) Exit poll shows that healthcare is the most important issue (41%), followed by immigration (23%), economy (22%), and gun policy (10%). In terms of Trump’s job approval rating: 54% disapprove, 45% approve. 

Amendment 4 of Florida is passed (64% yes vs. 36% no), restoring voting rights of 1.5 million Floridians with felony record who have already paid their debts to the society.

Here are some new faces to watch for in the hall of Congress in the future: Sharice Davids of Kansas (the first female Native American in Congress), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (29 year old) of New York, Abby Finkenauer (29 year old) of Iowa, and Abigail Spanberger (former CIA) of Virginia.
