>> President elect Donald Trump ran his campaign by making promises like sweeping tax cuts proposing higher tariffs, cutting climate regulations and deporting undocumented immigrants.

His election is just the crest, though, of an apparent red wave as Republicans take control of the Senate while the House remains undecided.

Joining us now with more, our Democrat Democratic Congressman Danny Davis.

And on zoom, his colleague, Democratic Congressman Jonathan Jackson.

Thanks to you both for joining us.

Congressman Jackson, I'm just going on faith that you're not driving at the moment.

So thank you so not Of course not.

All right.

So first, I want to hear a little bit of what Trump had to say in his acceptance speech overnight here.

That is.

>> help our country here.

We have a country.

And it does help very badly.

>> We're going to fix our borders.

We're going fix everything about our country.

>> Reason tonight and the reason is going to be just that.

>> Congressman Davis, let's start with you, please.

What do you think this election came down to the campaign, the candidates, the issues, the voters?

>> I think combination of all those things, as matter of fact, I think there are people who are led to believe that things were different than what they are as a matter of fact, I always say we made lots of progress in this country.

I don't do night, but I also warn let's not get too the basement and act like we're in the Penn House.

I was surprised that the outcome I was amazed.

I was disappointed prepare take what is and to keep moving.

Go And I don't expect nothing to be exactly as the president just I expect that he will continue his policies promoting tax cut.

Yeah.

For the wealthy one percent.

Those who have the most.

So we're going to spend 4 years of trouble.

Of interacting and trying to from going to fall back.

Although the voters have said what they said, here's where we are.

>> A Congressman Jackson, what do you take Trump presidency will mean for for the state of Illinois and Chicago?

>> It words lead so I'm very concerned about the language that the President Trump used to be went into the election.

The only poison the blood of our nation missus, Harrison's and intelligent lack of misses Clinton putting this changing here of gunfire.

These words towards violent towards women.

And I hope you be on rhetoric.

embarrassed that we're moving to deal with it.

But I have to hold him in his words, his words are ultimately what city wants to deliver and these words of threatening nation.

I pray that they go away because the president, as he speaks someone else manifest those words and that's extremely dangerous tone term that we're facing in our country.

>> The black vote, the quote, unquote black vote has been a major talking point this election season, especially especially when Democrats and Republicans truthfully, but especially because there is a black and Indian woman at the top of the ticket, particularly black men, though an NBC poll from 10 states found that 92% of black women voted for Harris compared to 78% of black and the to the counterpoint to that is 20% of black men voted for former President Trump.

Congressman Davis, to what do you attribute this racial and gender divide?

Well, I think some of it had to do with the.

>> Mature is a little of President Trump who can vanish men.

That there was something different about them and about the way that is would be compared to what Vice President Harris lead Europe would be.

And it means to me that we have a great deal work to do, especially with African American males.

It was amazing to me that 20% which voted for President Trump knowing his policies.

No one practices knowing his comments knowing where say it.

I couldn't imagine.

>> It it looks like for now the House will remain a Republican stronghold, but it is still a little bit early.

Democrats need to flip for seats in order to gain control.

A Congressman Jackson, what concerns do you have about governing as a minority?

But without Republicans, if Republicans should take control of both houses because we know for now, Republicans have shifted towards a majority in the Senate.

>> Melissa, Hope for parents and and coaching and foreign affairs.

We have to figure out with We have a commitment to Ukraine that we have a commitment to NATO.

Now we have a commitment to article sorrow in our record.

Also, 1, 1, for all staff from Russian.

mean, to me or forward doesn't mean anything you know, they'll pulling out of.

That's a good question from the interim should is that she noticed second debate so they can specific, content and also thinking that the talk about potential partners in crime and she talked about giving oil company billions of dollars Pittsburgh so that they can continue to pollute.

That's a issue.

Now it's February and it's November in Chicago.

We my 70 degree weather.

60 weather.

>> Clearly, something's gone wrong in our environment, also in agriculture.

I started looking at alexan other forms of so long there resisting streams were going to talk about how up to point forward.

Their cities like Los Vegas, something makes you conceding 30 have water currents, as a water park season going into the body of water.

So what developmental player?

We can sustain.

That's good for America what's going to top of my agenda.

It's the president, Congressman Davis, same question to you.

You've been you've been in Congress for a long time.

And if the Republicans should gain control as it is, they already have the White House, of course, in the Senate and >> that it's looking like very will likely have a majority in your chamber is, well, what does governing in the minority look like for you?

All?

>> Well, I had hoped for new initiatives increase and things like that.

Child tax credit, 10, all of these great things were going to be able to do.

I think now we're going to have to on defense.

We keep hearing about.

But in this cut in Social Security cut in social welfare program, reducing spending well, we're going to be playing tremendous amount of Defense Inc to play in offense.

so trying to hold back.

The that President Trump and his colleagues have will be a big county.

>> Okay.

Best of luck to you both in the challenges.

And obviously when you head back to DC One when all that goes down, of course, when he's
