The Effect of the Midterms

Source: David Friedman’s Substack
by David Friedman

“Control of congress matters — but not that much. The Democrats will not have enough votes to overcome a veto unless some Republicans support them. They will be able to block Trump’s judicial nominations but until they control the Presidency they cannot nominate and confirm their own. They can prevent Trump passing bills but to a considerable extent could already do that by taking advantage of the supermajority requirement to end debate in the Senate. The big effect of the midterms is, or might be, on Trump’s control of the Republican party.” (11/09/26)
