  "account": "Senate Democrats have welcomed a red-state revolution, welcoming new moderate senators-elect from Republican-leaning states. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Nevada Democrat, was one of few Democrats to oppose last year's government shutdown. She now expects centrists and leftists to align on restoring Obamacare tax credits, reducing harmful tariffs, and curbing Trump's war. However, some senators-elect may vote differently on energy issues, such as James Talarico from Texas. Moderates like Josh Turek and Adam Hamilton could join new Democrat senators from Mississippi and Alaska. The new class of senators will have a significant impact on upcoming decisions, such as a bipartisan permitting reform bill and a potential year-end government funding deal. Cortez Masto predicts Democrats will remain united on key priorities, while also seeking bipartisan solutions to address rising costs and corruption.",
  "summary": "The party sailed back into the majority on the strength of centrist candidates. Now its blocs might just work together.",
