Political Science Professor Dorian Warren Assesses Midterm Election Results

 | 
In the wake of last week's midterm elections, political science professor Dorian T. Warren answered questions about how a new balance of power will impact Congress and the Obama administration. Professor Dorian Warren talks about the Nov. 2 elections and what the results mean for the current administration. (4:52) "Voters did not vote necessarily for the Republican candidates. This was a vote against the party in power," said Warren. Republicans took control of the House of Representatives and made major gains in the Senate, he said, largely due to concern over a sluggish economy. President Obama now finds himself in the position of previous presidents, such as Bill Clinton and Dwight Eisenhower, who had to recover from major midterm election losses in order to win a second term in the White House.
