It’s been a tense night in the United States as the vote were counted.  

While the House is still up for grabs, CNN projects Republicans will win control of the Senate and Trump will win the popular vote. 

Political analyst Sean Trende told Ryan Bridge the result has exposed some real pressure points for the Democrats. 

He says that Trump won one in four black male votes, and black voters have been a backbone of the Democratic coalition since the 1930s. 

Trende says that to see Trump make those advances suggests there’s something really amiss in the coalition.
