Democrats capitalized on voter anger over Trump and affordability, flipping seats in deep-red and major battleground states alike.

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.

    I’m generally addressing those with incumbent Dem representatives who have sat on their hands the past two years.

    Some of the new incoming reps might have contact forms on their campaign sites.

    My point is there needs to be continuous pressure and not complacency from the public.
