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.

    I honestly think legislation being passed is the most likely outcome vs impeachment. I think they will be afraid to impeach and will want to show their voters something. Trump will sign some of the bills just to spite Republicans for losing the election, because he is petty like that.
