The Day of Judgment, Or Why Midterm Elections Are So Important
The midterm elections are over. Although the calculation is still ongoing, the result is already known. Election Night 2018 wasn’t looking to be an especially promising one for Republicans. GOP operatives and pollsters had resigned themselves to Democrats retaking the House of Representatives after eight years in the minority. This means that the Republicans no longer hold both houses of Congress, handing Donald Trump’s political opponents a stronger foothold in Washington from which to oppose his presidency.

What Trump Has Done in the Last 24 Hours

Trump, actively advocating the entire campaign for his fellow party members, has already written that the election results were a “tremendous success,” and has enthusiastically set to work. Let's see what he's done in the past 24 hours: He has threatened Congress if they try to investigate the executive branch: “It would be war,” he said.
