Rep.-elect Zack Mullock (D-NJ) says he didn’t realize he had a shot in his race against Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) until August. He was shocked about his own win.

“Probably, I know less than any other elected official in that building. I had to Google the salary of a congressperson just two days ago,” Mullock said.

Good piece from @KitMaherCNN:

Now that the Dems won, what happens with all those things Trump said he would only do if Republicans won?

Are Camp Lejeune victims SOL, like Trump suggested? Will he really not talk to Ohio's new Dem governor? Will he really cut Alaska off if Peltola wins?
