Representatives weigh in on what Alabamians expect from Doug Jones in office.

With a surprisingly strong turnout, voters in one of the most Republican states elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate and repudiated its controversial GOP nominee. John Yang reports on the upset in Alabama’s election and Judy Woodruff talks to Alabama Rep. Terri Sewell -- who up till now was the only Democrat in that state’s delegation -- about what we can expect from Doug Jones in office.
