WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden’s presidency is set for profound changes no matter what the midterm elections finally show. In public, Biden professed optimism, telling Democratic state party officials on election eve that “we’re going to surprise the living devil out of people.” In private, though, White House aides have been drawing up contingencies should Republicans take control of one, or both, chambers of Congress. Control of Congress was still hanging in the balance on Wednesday morning, but returns pointed to surprising Democratic strength as the party notched victories in key races. Biden is expected to speak later Wednesday about the election.
