The full exchange:

MAST He has until tomorrow to respond at 11 so I can't say that I've heard there’s been a response back from him yet. But we’ve also done over the course over, lets just say the past 20 months, all of the diligence needed if we need to subpoena him. If you have to subpoena somebodu there is diligence you have to do in advance of that. And that’s something we have done the diligence on for quite some time.
JOB: Would you consider subpening him if he didn't respond?
MAST: Absolutely.

NEW -- The Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Cmte, @BrianMastFL, tells me he’s prepared to subpoena Jensen Huang if the Nvidia CEO does not respond BY TOMORROW to his request for a joint closed door briefing on Huang’s reported relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.

JEFFRIES asked by @nicholaswu12 if he can work with new White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

“No,” he responded and paused

Silence then awkward laughs in the room.

Jeffries then called Miller a “stone-cold racist” and says he has “zero interest” in working with him.

“The country has had enough.”

Trump told me this morning that he has not spoken to Schumer or Jeffries since the election, but:

“I think we can get along. it's good for the country if we do. The country has had enough.”

He says he has spoken to other Democrats since the election:

“There are others - not them - but people,  other democrats, who have been calling. I have friends over there."

BACKSTORY - How Annie Andrews shocked the world in SC
- After Graham won primary, Andrews spent $5M+ on ads when she basically had airwaves to herself. By October her campaign had a 3-point lead and never trailed but didn't release the poll
- Trump's Graham endorsement backfired. Mark Sanford: “A Waterloo moment for Trump ... this is a person who said: ‘Close your eyes and pretend you’re voting for me.’ OK, they did ... They just didn’t like Darline as a candidate and felt it had been forced down their throats by Trump"
- Andrews made big inroads with Rs by courting supporters of Ralph Norman, getting Beasley endorsement. She worked closely with Clyburn to help juice turnout and other than Warnock kept the campaign local
- This all led to a convincing win and ... coat tails. Dems picked up the Lowcountry House seat. Andrews ran ahead of Dem guv candidate; and Graham ran way behind

Just a little rewind to this

[Dan Santella @KELODanS]

With regard to national developments, Rounds says he "was surprised at the depth of the losses by my colleagues." He tells me "we're also going to have to take a second look at some of the executive branch decisions that have been made." He elaborates on that here:

Susan Collins out
Roger Marshal out
John Husted out
A blue senate seat in Texas and Iowa and South Carolina and North Carolina
Greg Abbott out
A Democratic controlled House and Senate

And we don’t have Michigan or Alaska yet.

ABC News projects Democrats will take House and the Senate

For his final two years in office — and for his first time ever — President Trump will face a unified opposition congress.

[Jay O'Brien @jayobtv]

There it is.

Some reaction from a WH official tonight —

Says WH mood is “defiant.” Adds “candidate quality matters, and President Trump did a better job promoting many of the candidates on the ballot than the candidates did themselves.”

Remember in NC, SC, TX, and more these are candidates Trump handpicked.
