Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

Trump’s Historic Win & Democrats in Disarray 

Donald Trump’s historic victory this week was propelled by a broad, diverse alignment of voters who rejected conventional Republican and Democratic views. The results left many Democrats at a loss, trying to make sense of where their party went wrong.

We examine Trump's win, expectations for his second term, and reactions from the rest of the world.
