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.
America has moved past that sort of smarmy racist campaigning. EVERYBODY has worked with or for people of all sorts of religions, races, and national origins. MAGAs could scare people back when people were still confused about Muslims, etc., but that’s passed. 9/11 was 25 years ago, the world has moved on. The rampant, open racism doesn’t make people feel good, it creeps them out.
The insane racist attacks on Sayed, the mind-boggling Ramaswamy ad supporting pedophiles, the defection of Haley Stevens, etc. were shocking and disturbing, but only served to solidify Democratic resolve. We’ve seen how these traitors operate now, and we are no longer shocked at their depravity, it just makes us angrier, and more resolved to punish them.
I was really heartened to see that exit polls showed 60% of Jewish voters in Michigan voted for Abdul after all the media smears about how “the Jews wouldn’t support an Arab” (literally quoting some “analyst” on MSNBC). They want to bring whatever is happening in the Gulf here so bad.
