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.
Then we agree. Thank you for clarifying and I agree schuner and Jeffries MUST be replaced
Absolutely. I’m seeing a lot of “leftist” infighting already, when the bigger picture right now is that we need to get money out of the Gulf and into universal Medicare, lowering the COL, and getting these fucking monied pedophiles out of government. Bickering over if a private or public company is gonna fix our potholes can come after we all have rides to drive over said potholes. (Public, and my ride is a bus hopefully)
