About this episode

A.M. Edition for Nov. 6. WSJ Washington chief Damian Paletta and editor Aaron Zitner say Donald Trump’s historic comeback gives him a powerful mandate and sets up a bitter fight inside the Democratic Party over how to move forward after Kamala Harris fails to make inroads with key voter groups. Plus, investors pile into assets likely to benefit from Trump’s presidency, but WSJ finance editor Alex Frangos says the race to control the House will be critical to his ability to implement his policies. And we look at how abortion-rights ballot measures fared across the country. Luke Vargas hosts.
