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.

    Yeah liberals are going to be very annoying after this, already my coworker is ecstatic and said Trump is a “communist authoritarian r*tard“ and probably act like everything is fine until primary season, while these new progressives will probably fail to slow down or stop imperialist policies overseas, ICE/Police violence (some may even keep ice/police just the same as it was).

    I’m a little personally worried that my new governor (Klobuchar) is going to gut Minnesota’s healthcare even more but we’ll see.
