Sarah Bloomquist and our panel of insiders break down this week's historic midterm elections, with the balance of power being reset in both Washington and in Harrisburg,

Democrats in Pennsylvania achieved the trifecta- taking control of the House, the Senate and the Governor's Mansion for the first time since 1993.

Will Pennsylvania see a wave of legislation- legalizing marijuana, funding transit, investing in housing and codifying abortion?

Governor Josh Shapiro sailed to reelection over the Republican candidate, Stacy Garrity.

How much did it help candidates down ballot to have Shapiro at the top of the ticket?

Nationally, what do Democrats do now to improve the economy, lower gas prices, get out of the war in Iran?

And what is the future of the Republican Party and Senator John Fetterman at this point?

And has this election restored public faith in the accuracy of polling?
