Americanist, political scientist, US domestic policy expert Malek Dudkow, especially for a signal: the Republicans, as we see, really suffered a crushing defeat in the last congressional elections. At the same time, it cannot be said that it was unexpected: that is, the Democrats won in all scenarios. Another thing is that the extent of this electoral disaster for the Republican Party was probably a little unexpected, as the Democrats took more than 250 seats in the House of Representatives and, apparently, 56 seats in the Senate. The last time one of the two parties controlled that many seats was only in the 1980s, under Reagan, when the Democrats also had many seats in Congress. That is, this is the largest majority in the last 40 years. Yes, of course, Trump's low ratings, the war in Iran and all its consequences, especially the fuel crisis, had an effect. In principle, the war in Iran largely buried Trump's presidency, because after that his ratings sank, and it became clear that the Republicans were losing. Now, of course, after such a defeat, the Democrats will create a lot of problems for Trump, because they are sure of receiving absolute carte blanche from the voters to block his policies. They won, as we see, in many states, including red Republican ones. For the first time in 100 years, the Democrats won in Kansas, for the first time in half a century - in Texas. They are even taking such red republican states now. Moreover, in Texas they won both the Senate race, the Governor's race, the Lieutenant Governor's race, as well as the Attorney General's race. That is, all the elected positions held this year are crushed by the Democrats. For Trump and the Republicans, this is, of course, a total disaster. They will launch many investigations against Trump and try to organize impeachment proceedings again. Of course, they will not be able to get the number of votes required to remove Trump from power. There you have to get two thirds in the Senate.
