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.
The Epstein files are the most likely mechanism at the moment, for sure. And with the Dems in control of Congress, there’s an opportunity to make them much, much for visible to the American people. It sounds like there’s some pretty sickening stuff in there that directly implicates Trump. With enough attention, it is possible that his support within the GOP collapses. Especially given his diminished standing following this elections.
I’m not sure I’d bet on anything happening, but it’s certainly more likely than it was when the GOP controlled Congress.
I sincerely hope that the dems are willing to play “dirty” at this point and out all of the files that implicate Trump the second they are sworn in. And if Trump can somehow block it, let him dig his own grave. Leak the files. Do what you have to do to sink him even more.
They have a rare opportunity to basically get a free win in the 2028 election after all that Trump’s done. Please let them take it and not fart around like old man Schumer always does.
