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.
Alabama, Florida, and Arkansas have been called for the Republicans. sucks that Nixon lost in Florida, bit it was pie in the sky. I am astonished that we got south Carolina and Kansas.
Mississippi is so close it could easily be ratfucked by a judge tossing out 100 ballots. But the fact that the dem is leading there feels like a fever dream.
