Truman’s administration more than 60 years ago. “We are humbled by the responsibility the American people have placed with us, but this is not a time for celebra- tion,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. “It’s time for government to start getting results and implementing solu- tions to the challenges facing our country, starting with our still-struggling economy.” In state capitols, Republicans were poised to leave their imprint, picking up governors’ Pat Roberts (R) Greg Orman (D) seats in reliably Democratic states like Illinois, Maryland and Massachusetts. With House 1st District of Kansas Congress grappling with grid- lock, states have been at the forefront of efforts to raise the minimum wage and implement Obama’s health care law. Many Republican governors seeking re-election had strug- gled with poor approval ratings but prevailed, including Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who defeated Democrat Charlie Crist, a for- mer Republican governor; Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback; and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential GOP presi- dential candidate in 2016. Voters expressed bitterness Tim Huelskamp (R) James Sherow (D) with a sluggish economic recovery and the nation’s han- dling of foreign crises. Nearly House 2nd District of Kansas two-thirds of voters inter- viewed after casting ballots said the country was seriously on the wrong track. Only about 30 percent said the nation was headed in the right direction. More than 4 in 10 voters dis- approved of both Obama and Congress, according to the exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and the televi- sion networks. Obama’s poor approval rat- ings turned him into a liability for Democrats seeking re-elec- tion. The outcome offered par- allels to the sixth year of Republican George W. Bush’s Lynn Jenkins (R) Margie Wakefield (D) presidency, when Democrats won sweeping victories amid voter discontent with the wars Kansas Governor in Iraq and Afghanistan. With lawmakers planning to return to Washington next week for a post-election session, Obama invited congressional leaders to a meeting Friday.
Democrats had few bright spots. New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. Maggie Hassan, who cam- paigned with potential 2016 candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton last weekend, both won re-election.
