It appears for the first time in history and despite the terrible damage tRump and his antigovernment conspiring GOPer cronies tried to do against Congress, it appears the tables have turned against this attack. This is a result of a record number of women being elected as Congressional legislators, the majority democratic elected officials. As such, I hope this means Congress can become great again at surviving anti Democracy attempts to destroy its integrity:
Record number of women elected to the House
When all votes are counted, CBS News estimates a record number of women will be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives — more than 100.
As of 8:32 p.m. on Nov. 11, women won 99 seats in the House based on CBS News projections, with that number expected to grow, according to CBS News elections expert Jennifer De Pinto. The vast majority of those women winners are Democrats. Of the 99 women who have won, 86 of them are Democrats and only 13 are Republicans. There are 435 total seats in the House.
In the Senate, CBS News estimates the composition of the new Senate will at least match the current Senate, which has 23 women. That includes the race in Arizona, where both candidates for U.S. Senate, Martha McSally and Kirsten Sinema, are women. The number of women in the Senate could potentially increase if Cindy Hyde Smith in Mississippi wins her run-off election for U.S. Senate come Nov. 27. There were firsts for women in the Senate, too. Tennessee elected its first female senator in choosing Republican Marsha Blackburn, and Arizona is set to do the same, regardless of who wins. "
