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 is a great victory, but I feel it is gonna be a hard two years. I hope dem can end blantant corruption by Trump, which is very doable, but they will have a hard time fixing all the shit show that is going on, from AI bubble to oil prices.
If people don’t see legitimate economical improvements (which is unlikely given the current global situation) the next president election likely will not be as clear cut as this one.
Disclaimer: I am not suggesting other issues are less important than economics, but we have seen time and time again: voters care more about gas price up 50 cents than elementary schools being bombed.
They need to end all funding to any departments that are not in line with the law.
