They'll stop the GOP from mining and drilling in our national parks.
They'll stop offshore oil drilling from occurring off the coast of FL and NC and SC and VA and MA and DE and MD and ME and RI and CA and OR and WA and GA states.
They'll make sure PEOPLE in the USA aren't placed of higher importance than COMPANIES.

They are legislatures and they make law. The Democrats won't be spineless wusses like the GOP.
All these things are essential to keeping our country functioning. I'm hoping that some republicans in congress recognize, that after their stunning defeat in the 2018 election, that making themselves look a lot better by pretending to cooperate with democrats, will be the only way to keep their party and themselves going.

When the democrats take the house they should have an investigation on the 4 soldiers killed in Niger and drag it out for 4 years. Why didn't they get help, who gave the stand down order.

What agenda would that be? What exactly have Rs gotten done since Trump has been in office? It's pretty sad that despite Republicans being a majority in all branches, they still can't DO ANYTHING.

There needs to be a better reason than this for people to believe these sorts of predictions.
Mitch McConnell characterized 9 Senate races” too close to call and end eryone of them is like a knife fight in an alley”.

Will this energize Republicans to turn out?

Will the hyperbole about the Democrats winning the majority of the House cause Democrats to think it’s in the bag and not vote?

No one knows with certainty the role apathy will play in this election.

If “ I did not vote” was a candidate in 2016, it would have won by a landslide.

Neither party has shown much interest in getting spending under control! Republicans give it lip service during campaigns but follow through. Democrats (in general) are too interested in giveaways and seem to lack economic sense....unless they are out of power! While it is true that the deficit was lower under Obama keep in mind this occurred when there was a Republican congress.
