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 fight isn’t over. The next 2 years will only be about stopping trumps agenda. Without a supermajority Trump will veto every single bill. Our focus should be about restructuring the party so people like Jeffries and other Israel sympathizers take a seat and wait patiently for us to get rid of them.
