FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2020, file photo Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pauses as she meets with reporters about the impact of the election on the political landscape in Congress, at the Capitol in Washington. President Donald Trump lost the presidency and Democrat Joe Biden will move into the White House in January after winning nearly 80 million votes nationwide, a historic high. But the enthusiasm for Biden, or for removing Trump, didn't trickle down to other Democrats down ballot. That leaves the party confronting a reckoning over how to move forward. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is beginning a “deep dive” examination into what happened. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
