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.
That’s a good point, and it supports mine in fact. The legislation I want would be something like health care reform. When the administration’s goals aren’t and were never to create lasting meaningful change for the average citizen, when the judiciary rubber stamps things we all know are wrong, the legislative process becomes obsolete.
We aren’t measuring success by the same metrics as they are.
