The Nov. 8 midterm elections didn’t produce the big red wave that was widely expected, with Democrats suffering fewer losses than expected and even gaining ground with a new Pennsylvania Senate seat.
As of Friday, it remained unclear which party will take control of Congress, with key races undecided in the House and the Senate. Pleased that Democrats beat the odds, President Joe Biden declared that Tuesday was “a good day for democracy. And it was a strong night for Democrats.”
Meanwhile, the midterm elections will continue for another month, as the heated and very expensive Georgia Senate battle between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker has yet to produce a winner. Neither candidate surpassed 50% of the vote on Tuesday, triggering a runoff election on Dec. 6.
Here’s a look at midterm election scenes from Georgia and Washington on the week of Nov. 7 captured by Washington Examiner photographer Graeme Jennings.
