Republicans routed as Democrats gain powerful new leverage over Trump for remainder of his presidency

Democrats have regained control of the US Senate, routing Republicans nationwide with historic victories that will give them powerful new leverage over Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency.

Democrats will soon have the ability to hold up not just Trump’s legislative agenda, but also any appointments he makes to his cabinet or the federal judiciary – including the supreme court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.

    Why? The Dems are the same “people” as Musk and that and the wealthy don’t suffer any consequences.

      You must have not followed the election last night. The night was a big win for progressive and socialist candidates. Sure some old guard democrats won as well, but this was not your normal election.
