The Democratic senator-elect tells NBC News what he understood about Latinos — particularly men — that others in his party missed, and why it was so consequential.

Plus, Republicans prepare to scrutinize Matt Gaetz's attorney general nomination, and Trump picks Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary.

“We could have gotten twice as many conservative victories in the last two years had we had more unity,” said Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., who called it “a key question” going forward.

An army of online pro-Trump voices is trying to boost underdog Rick Scott over two Mitch McConnell deputies, John Thune and John Cornyn, for the top job.

A swing in Latino support helps fuel Trump's victory, while political gravity caught up to Senate Democrats and abortion rights didn't turn out to be a panacea.

Republicans were favored to win control of the Senate and flipped seats in West Virginia, Montana and Ohio, while the battle for the House is on a knife-edge.

Voters are about to elect a new Congress. It will have a full plate next year, from expiring tax cuts and health care funding to averting a debt default and a government shutdown.

Democrats have “nauseous optimism” that she’ll win, one strategist told NBC News. Here are five keys to Kamala Harris making history and becoming America’s first female president.

While liberals have held their tongues as Kamala Harris tacked to the center, they're preparing for a major battle over the future of the party, with personnel emerging as a flashpoint.

The Republican speaker said at an event in Pennsylvania that overhauling health care would be a major focus and that “Trump’s going to go big” if he takes the presidency.

In a rally at the Ellipse a week before the election, Harris will deliver her closing argument and promise to be a pragmatist who would put country over party, a senior campaign official said.

These Senate and House contests across the country could produce surprises if the political winds are blowing strongly in one direction on Nov. 5, or if underdogs can defy gravity.

It's rare for a president to enter office with the House controlled by the opposing party, but operatives in both parties say it's a real possibility this cycle.

Trump is seeking to make the election a referendum on the Biden-Harris administration’s record, while Harris hopes to highlight the two contrasting agendas.

A consequential Senate race and a pair of ultracompetitive House elections are in many ways detached from the Harris-Trump contest — and each other.

The voters were key to Biden's path to victory in the former GOP stronghold in 2020. But some say Harris must overcome her progressive past to win them over.

The race is close: Polls show Cruz, the two-term Republican senator, has only a narrow lead over the Democratic congressman in the GOP stronghold weeks from Election Day.

The vice president said Trump "is out for unchecked power" and "wants to send the military after American citizens.”

“This is out of the autocratic playbook. As autocrats consolidate their power once they’re in office, anything that threatens their power ... becomes illegal,” historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat said.

The former president rallied for Kamala Harris in battleground Pennsylvania after he told volunteers he worries that Black men, in particular, aren't showing enough enthusiasm.
