Following a nationwide Democratic sweep that flipped both chambers of Congress, what does Washington’s new balance of power mean for Hawaiʻi?

On this special post-election episode of Fans of Democracy, HNN political reporter Daryl Huff and political analyst Colin Moore sit down with re-elected U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda to break down how majority status elevates the state's delegation — including U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz’s bid for Senate majority whip and potential committee gavels for federal funding.

Plus, the team analyzes the fallout at home: what the national wave cost local Republicans in the state legislature, the key contested House and Senate seats hanging in the balance, and a historic third-party breakthrough on Maui.
