Winning re-election with over 264,000 votes, Peter Welch was the top vote getter in any Vermont race last Tuesday.

Congressman Peter Welch was easily re-elected last Tuesday. But he was stunned by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States.

Representative Welch returns to Washington with concerns about where the country is headed under a Trump Presidency.

We speak with Congressman Peter Welch about the new Congress and how it will work with President Trump.
