News: Dem Rep. Haley Stevens, who enraged Democrats by endorsing GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers, spent the vote series tonight in the Republican cloakroom, per multiple sources. This was the first vote series post election. Multiple reporters from The Sun stopped by her office today and it appeared to be closed.

Secret Service have dropped the block-wide perimeter around Lafayette Square Park, but are still keeping traffic off H Street. Just before the perimeter was taken down, officers could be seen removing items from the car.
Unclear what happened but someone just drove into a sign on the north end of Lafayette Square Park and then fought with Secret Service and National Guard when they got out of their car.

NEW: White, working-class voters swung 14 points toward Democrats this year, per NYT's analysis, a drastic shift from a cornerstone of Trump's base. Yet roughly 60% of these voters still backed Republicans. The shifts were most pronounced in the NC, IA, NH and OH Senate races🧵

A D.C. restaurant has a foie gras supper planned, complete with foie gras French toast. Now, an animal rights group has sent the restaurant a cease and desist arguing it’s claims of “humanely raised” foie gras were misleading. The foie gras ban might have passed, but there’s still plenty of drama: dc.citycast.fm/food-drink/ma…
