That would be the Dems in this contest….it appears they had a very good election in this round…..Donny is not happy….and he has an excuse as usual….

With the midterms shaping up to be a rout in favor of Democrats, President Trump weighed in with a brief assessment of what went wrong for his party about 10:40pm. “I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!” he wrote on Truth Social. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” On the campaign trail, Trump had repeatedly struck a similar theme.

“You have to pretend I’m on the ballot,” he told a rally in Georgia last month, per the Georgia Recorder. “OK, the story is this: We get 49% more votes when I’m on the ballot. When I’m not on the ballot—I guess it’s a compliment—but people don’t show up so much.” Republican candidates, however, apparently didn’t feel the same way. Axios reported that they essentially stopped mentioning him in ads as the election drew closer.

Shall we take a look at the successes of the Dems?

I am sure the big news has made it to every corner of the internet….the Dems have both Houses…..

The AP reports that Democrats have won control of the House as part of a massive midterm backlash to President Trump’s policies that also saw the party take control of the Senate by flipping seats in states including Texas, South Carolina, and Kansas. The New York Times projects that the party will win around 255 seats, giving them their largest majority in almost 20 years.

• The swing toward Democrats saw the party win in districts that Trump won by double digits in 2024, reports CNN. Several Democrats, including Rep. Shomari Figures in Alabama, won despite efforts to defeat them through redistricting.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is expected to become the first Black House speaker, handing Democrats control of key committees and subpoena power that could reshape Trump’s second term, NBC News reports. Democrats are signaling aggressive oversight of Trump’s administration, business dealings, and immigration policies, while some members are openly discussing a possible third impeachment. Jeffries says nothing is off the table, even as party leaders also pledge to target Trump’s Iran policy, tariffs, and health-care rollbacks through legislation.

Our promise to the country in the new Congress is that, beginning on Day 1, we’re going to hold the crooks accountable,” Jeffries said ahead of the election. On Tuesday night, he said, “America is back,” CBS News reports. “Today begins the great American comeback,” Jeffries said. “This is a change election, and we understand as House Democrats that we need to deliver dramatic change.” House Speaker Mike Johnson, meanwhile, has signaled that he wants to remain the party’s leader even when Republicans become the minority party, the Hill reports.

Do not trust Jeffries!  He is a stooge for the corporations.

Now the Senate will be in Dem hands (for a change)….

Democrats have retaken control of the US Senate, delivering a decisive rebuke of Republican control of governance in Washington and ushering in a new era of congressional resistance to President Trump, the AP reports. The midterm elections that came to a close Tuesday channeled voters’ deep frustration with high prices, the war in Iran, and concerns about government corruption. The House remains too early to call, but Democrats have already flipped seven seats as they try to win the majority in that chamber as well.

Democratic control of the Senate will profoundly reshape Trump’s final two years in office and likely hamstring his ability to push his agenda, including his hopes for sustaining a conservative shift to the Supreme Court. Democrats charted an extraordinary path to Senate victory through some of the most conservative states in the nation. Josh Turek defeated Rep. Ashley Hinson in Iowa and Adam Hamilton ousted Sen. Roger Marshall in Kansas as part of a cascade of stunning victories. James Talarico defeated Ken Paxton in Texas, Annie Andrews upset Darline Graham in South Carolina, Sherrod Brown beat Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio, and Roy Cooper took an open North Carolina seat. Other close races were still to be called.

A new day is coming….that is the promise of the Dems as they have control….but that is only words….will their actions show the day has arrived?

Surely you have a few thoughts……
