The list included soon-to-be-former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., as well as re-elected Republicans such as Sens. Lindsey Graham, Jim Inhofe and Jeff Sessions.

Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,said he spoke with the president by phone on Wednesday.

Obama will also be calling other lawmakers Wednesday, the White House said.

Thirteen of the 25 recipients of presidential phone calls on Tuesday night were Republicans.
