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.
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.
It’s okay, Chucks imaginary voters are still to the right of Attila the Hun.
He’ll be voting in favor of issues that they’d agree with.
atilla was pretty progressive for his time wasnt he? like “i dont give a fuck what gods you worship, long as you pay tribute to me”
