A Democratic president was left to work with a Republican Congress.

Democrats received a mandate to take a new approach to government.

Explanation

In the 1994 midterm elections, Republicans won control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, while Democrat Bill Clinton remained president. This left a Democratic president working with a Republican-controlled Congress, as described in choice C. The election marked a major shift in congressional power, not continued Democratic control.
