Republican leaders have already vowed to reverse Mr Obama’s healthcare reforms and to cut spending. Mr Obama pledged to find common ground with the Republicans on key issues. No one party was now in control, he said, so it was important for Republicans and Democrats to work together to focus on jobs, security and the future, in line with the voters’ message. “It will not all be easy. We will not be able to…
