Senator-elect Angus King of Maine, elected as an independent, says he will caucus with the Democrats.
That will give the Senate’s Democrats a 55-45 edge over Republicans when they convene a new session of Congress in January.
King, announcing his stance in Washington this morning, said he also hopes to act as a bridge between the parties.
