We’re continuing to watch election results today, but many things are clear: Donald Trump will retake the presidency, and he’ll be backed by a Republican controlled Senate. Control of the House of Representatives remains up in the air. Dozens of races around the country are too close to call. 

We might not know the outcome of these battleground contests for several days or even weeks, but the potential for Democrats to flip the House is a rare glimmer of hope for a party that experienced crushing defeats on Tuesday.   

The picture is very different in Washington state, which, if anything, turned an even deeper shade of blue. 

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, who represents Seattle and the surrounding area, won her reelection bid handily, beating her opponent by about 70 percentage points, as of now. 

So how will Representative Jayapal, the Progressive Caucus Chair and outspoken Trump critic, approach the next two years in office? 

Guests:

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-07)
