Democrats have won the Senate majority, a feat that seemed unreachable last year but that came to fruition with Republican candidates failing in states won just two years ago by President Trump, whose failing approval ratings was a huge drag on the GOP.
Victory in the Senate will deliver additional oversight powers to Democrats, who will now have a much bigger say on administration and judicial nominations.
They will also set the schedule for the Senate and have new powers to call in administration officials for hearings.
The string of Democratic victories sets the stage for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to return as majority leader in 2027 and for hardball negotiations with Trump on an array of issues, including on federal spending levels.
I hope the new blood light a fire under Schumer’s ass before they are absorbed by moneyed interests. This was some of the most rancid levels of xenophobic, Islamophobic, antisemitic, anti-queer and anti-Black rhetoric I have ever seen during an election cycle in my (admittedly very short) life, it’s insane how the right AND the center-right just attacked through every hateful vector available. Americans were not having it, and the Dems need to acknowledge which way the wind is blowing.
Exit polls show that 50% of all voters think that the US provides too much support to Israel. Schumer is for sure doing that Principal Skinner meme right now.
The median US voter is, on most issues, to the left of your average centrist Democrat.
schumers is full zionist, so is hakeem, and they are shiedling at least dozen+ congresspeople whoa re also funded by aipac.
A dozen of 255 seats is still a minority in the house. Schumer also used his own Superpac to donate $30mil to El-Sayed’s campaign, so he’s not fully against anti-Israel candidates or understands controlling swing states for the 2028 elections.
Either way, it’s obvious AIPAC lost bigtime this midterm and it’s up to the Dems to recognize that. They have a real chance at a supermajority for 2028, and Schumer may have less of a backbone than an eel, but he’s not 100% stupid at the game considering the tight races in Mississippi and Louisiana are his handpicked candidates.
What do you mean “a dozen”? AIPAC funds majority Dems
“As of November 2026, 247 of 262 Democratic members of Congress have received money from AIPAC and pro-Israel PACs, totaling $135.6 million according to FEC filings. This includes 45 Senators and 202 House Representatives”
They also sit on ALL of the committees. I don’t think they are going to hold anyone associated with their mossad blackmail op reaponsible
