We’re starting to get a fuller picture of what the incoming Congress is going to look like under President-elect Donald Trump. Republicans have clinched a majority in the Senate and seem poised to take the House, too. But on the whole, it’s a less rosy picture for the party than Trump’s win suggests. Republican Senate candidates drastically underperformed the incoming president. Over in the House, the GOP isn’t expected to make any significant gains on its existing narrow majority. Burgess Everett, Congressional bureau chief for Semafor, explains why Trump’s big win didn’t translate to more down-ballot success. And in headlines: California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for a special legislative session to “Trump-proof” state law, Trump’s White House starts to take shape, and Target stores removed ‘Wicked’ dolls from shelves amid a packaging error that included the address of a porn website.

  • But look under the hood of those Republican majorities and things start to get a little weird over the weekend.

  • Nevada Democratic Senator Jackie Rosen officially won her race for reelection.

  • She edged out Republican Sam Brown by a little more than a point.

  • Rosen spoke to her supporters Saturday after she was declared the winner.

  • So it might have taken a few long days, a few long days, but Nevada voices have been heard.

  • And you know, my opponents spent more than 75 million bucks, 75 million bucks against me to flip the seat.

  • They spent tens of millions trying to tear me down, trying to tear us down, trying to lie about my record and turn me into something that I am not.

  • But Nevadan saw the truth.
