ST. PAUL, Minn. — DFL-ers had a good night Tuesday, but few won with a margin like U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

Klobuchar trounced Republican challenger State Rep. Kurt Bills by a 35-point margin, or almost a million more votes than Bills. The DFL-er will return to Washington for her second term. She speaks with MPR News to discuss her upcoming term.
