PROVIDENCE -- U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee plans to speak publicly today for the first time since losing his seat to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in Tuesday's election. The Republican Chafee stayed out of sight yesterday, as Whitehouse made his first public appearance as senator-elect, in the Arcade shopping mall in downtown Providence. Chafee will meet with reporters in his Westminster Street office at 2 p.m. He will return to Washington when the lame-duck Congress meets in the coming weeks. The new Congress -- in which Democrats will have a majority in the House and the Senate -- will convene in January. In addition to Whitehouse, it will feature a strong Democratic representation from around New England.
