Make America Dream Again. The joy of giving Trump a slap

All eyes were on the Senate, and the Senate went to the Democratic Party. There is a clear gap in the number of seats compared with the Republicans: 54 to 44, with two states still too close to call (Mississippi, where the outgoing pro-Trump Cindy Hyde-Smith is neck and neck with the progressive Scott Colom and it will take days to find out who has prevailed, and Alaska, where the count is proceeding slowly and the frontrunners are neck and neck). Overall, the Democrats have snatched seven seats from their rivals, a figure that could rise to 56. There is also a comfortable majority in the House of Representatives, with the Democrats well above the 218-seat threshold required to secure control: at present, with many seats still to be allocated, the Democrats stand at 232, whilst the Republicans remain at 139. The Democrats have also secured a resounding victory in the governors’ races: they have taken five seats from the Republicans, starting with the win in Texas, where Gina Hinojosa defeated the outgoing governor (who was seeking a fourth term), Greg Abbott.
