Despite a historic midterm victory that is set to hand Democrats control of both chambers of Congress, some senators, including independent Senator Bernie Sanders, are calling for a change in leadership. Sanders says he will not support current Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as the top Democrat in the new Senate. Meanwhile, despite the Republicans' losses, the GOP picked one of Donald Trump's fiercest supporters to replace Mike Johnson as their top House leader. Congressman Jim Jordan won the post, beating out Steve Scalise in a secret ballot.
