It's been a month since Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election and left the "highest, hardest glass ceiling" unshattered. But for the female politicians who blazed the trail before Clinton, they still dream of a woman serving in the Oval Office. Rosalind Wyman is one of them. The 84-year-old was once only the second woman to serve on the Los Angeles City Council.

It was January 2016. Before any votes had been cast. Donald Trump had spent months leading the Republican primary polls. Longtime Washington Post reporter Dan Balz met a family in Iowa that helped "crystallize" Trump's appeal with voters in America's heartland. The Swearingen family had been lifelong Democrats and voted for Barack Obama, but Trump was their candidate of choice this time.

Sparks flew between Trump and Clinton campaign managers at a post-election review at Harvard when the subject of the alt-right's involvement in the Trump campaign came up.

Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president in less than two months, but before the inauguration, there is a lot of work to be done.

They'll help Trump implement his legislative priorities, which in some cases are very different than the promises he made on the campaign trail.

Candidate Trump showed a particular aversion to the national press corps assigned to cover him, but how will President Trump interact with reporters? And will the president-elect follow past precedent and have a protective pool of reporters with him at all times? In the past, such a pool of journalists has helped capture historical events like the September 11 attacks.

As the transition to the Trump administration, what names are being considered for high-level jobs? After the Democrats' loss on Tuesday, how does the party rebuild? And who is in line to lead? Plus, how does the election compare to 1992 when voters were looking for change and got it?

President-elect Donald Trump traveled to Washington to meet with President Obama and Republican leaders in Congress just days after he was elected as the 45th president.

With less than a week until Election Day, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are making their final pitch to voters in battleground states, trying to increase voter turnout and reach 270 electoral votes. But in the week since the FBI announced its review of new Clinton State Department emails, polls are tightening.

With Election Day on Tuesday, many Americans are concerned with attempts by Russia to influence the election or disrupt American democracy through cyberhacking. How real is the threat?

Hillary Clinton's email problem came back to forefront Friday as FBI Director James Comey told Congress it was reviewing new emails related to her use of a private email server. Clinton called for the FBI to release the "full and complete facts" because the election is just 11 days away and voters in many states have already cast their ballots.

While Donald Trump has threatened lawsuits against the women accusing him of sexual misconduct, his most loyal supporters have not left his side. Many of the supporters New York Times reporter Ashley Parker spoke to in recent days have called for a revolution if Trump loses and view a Clinton win in apocalyptic terms.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton traded jabs at the annual Al Smith Dinner in New York. The traditionally comedic evening turned contentious, but would the candidates make good comedians?
