The midterm elections were last week, on November 6, 2018. The day came and went very quickly and was yet another pivotal moment in American history to see if Republicans would maintain control of the House and Senate or if the Democrats would take the majority of one or two houses. In this case, Democrats were only able to control the House. As a Democrat before election day, I was filled with hope that Democrats would win back both chambers. I was set back when the Democrats only won a single chamber and did not know what to think of the election results until the following day.
