Elon Musk Mocks Republican Losses After $445M Spending
Elon Musk mocked Republican losses in the U.S. midterm elections after spending $445 million to support their campaigns. Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate, according to media projections. Hakeem Jeffries is set to become the first African American Speaker of the House, facing challenges in countering President Donald Trump and bridging divides between moderate and progressive Democrats. He pledged to reverse Medicaid cuts and investigate Trump administration dealings with corporate executives. Jeffries will need support from progressive lawmakers like Daryliesa Avila Chevalier, who has not committed to backing him. Key legislative priorities include raising the debt ceiling, avoiding government shutdowns, and protecting Social Security, though some Democrats caution against pursuing impeachment.
