Doug Jones is the first Democratic Senator-Elect from Alabama in 25 years, after an historic upset win over Republican nominee Roy Moore. The race was the subject of national attention, not only because of accusations of sexual misconduct against Moore, but because of the precarious Republican majority in the Senate. The balance will be just 51-49 in favor of Republicans when Jones takes office — a balance Donald Trump needs to sway in his favor in order to get his tax plan through Congress.
Jim Braude was joined by former chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party, Jennifer Nassour, and Michael Curry, the chair of the national NAACP Advocacy and Policy Committee, to discuss the impact of the election.
