News summary

In the recent Vermont elections, Republicans made significant gains in the House of Representatives, picking up 17 seats and reducing Democrats' majority from 105 to 88. This shift eliminates the Democratic supermajority, which previously allowed them to override vetoes from Republican Governor Phil Scott. Key Democratic figures, including committee chairs, were unseated, indicating a substantial change in leadership dynamics. The Republican Party, buoyed by voter concerns over affordability and taxation, now holds a 55-37 edge in the House. Meanwhile, in New York, Democrats successfully unseated two Republican incumbents in the U.S. House, reflecting broader trends of reclaiming lost ground in key districts. These outcomes highlight a potential shift in political balance across both states, with voters expressing a desire for moderation and change.
