The Senate can only stand to lose two votes in the Senate if they want to pass the American Health Care Act. Will the GOP be able to please the holdouts before a possible vote next week?
President Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch, a Colorado judge, to fill Scalia's spot on the Supreme Court. Mitch McConnell says Gorsuch will be confirmed, but it will be a battle as Democrats try to halt Gorsuch's appointment.
Election night amounted to an almost complete disaster for Senate Democrats in a year when the map greatly favored them.
