Election results: a big night for Democrats

Описание: Running a slate of moderate candidates in the Monroe County suburbs and rural areas, Democrats won in places where they previously hadn’t won in decades or even longer. It reflects a big night for the party in other states as well. Our WXXI News team breaks down the results, discusses what they mean, and we hear from some of the winners.
