President Donald Trump told voters to pretend he was on the ballot in this year’s midterm elections.
They did. And they resoundingly rejected both his policies and his Republican Party.
Democrats have captured full control of Congress, NBC News projects, with voters delivering a forceful repudiation of Trump’s agenda, coupled with a clear-cut message that Congress has not done enough to provide checks on his administration and needs to do more to address affordability and corruption.
It’s much more than this, but even this part is an absolute win. No more rubber stamping whatever Toddler Trump wants. It’s a return of checks and balances. It opens up doors to investigations, shutting down budgets that fund his nonsense, blocking everything he wants to do, blocking appointments, and impeachment (though I still expect it never to pass the Senate unless they can show some smoking guns - even then I’m not sure).
