Democrats Take Control of Congress; Xavier Becerra Wins California Governor’s Race | NTD Good Morning (Nov. 4)
Democrats won majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. President Donald Trump told Fox News that he accepted the race results and congratulated the Democrats on their victory. He said he could work with them on some issues but foresaw conflict on others, including border security and transgender issues. He also said he would not make changes in his Cabinet based on the midterm results.
In California’s gubernatorial race, Democrat Xavier Becerra defeated his opponent, Republican Steve Hilton. Becerra previously served as President Joe Biden’s health secretary, state attorney general, and a member of Congress. He will be California’s first Latino governor since 1875, succeeding term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Trump has proclaimed November 1–7 as Anti-Communism Week, signing the action on Election Day. The proclamation describes communism and socialism as threats to individual liberty, economic opportunity, and the rights of Americans. He said the week is meant to honor victims of those ideologies and renew the country’s commitment to defending freedom.
