Voters sent an overwhelming message on Nov. 5: they want the country to move in a new direction. The biggest change came at the top of the ticket with President-elect Donald Trump defeating sitting Vice President Kamala Harris by taking the popular vote and a wide Electoral College margin of 312-226. The U.S. House of Representatives remains in Republican control, but the U.S. Senate flipped from Democratic control to a larger Republican majority.
As President-elect Trump won approval across historically broad voting demographics, clear majorities of voters said crime and gun policies were important.
