Ted Cruz: GOP Losses a 'Watergate-Level Repudiation'

 Sen. Ted Cruz called Republicans' midterm losses a "Watergate-level repudiation," saying voters rejected the party over rising living costs while criticizing President Donald Trump's tariffs and the prolonged war with Iran.

"2026 was not simply a blue wave; it was a blue tsunami. It was an ass-kicking. It was not simply a bad 2006 midterm election. It was a Watergate-level repudiation," the Texas Republican wrote Wednesday in a lengthy post on X. 

Republicans needed to confront the reasons for their defeat rather than blame the outcome on a failure to get supporters to the polls, he added. 

"When all the votes were counted, the problem wasn't turnout. Instead, our voters, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, showed up and voted, and rejected our candidates, voting Democrat instead," he wrote.

Meanwhile, Cruz said voters' leading concern was the cost of living, but "too many Republican politicians seem like they didn't understand or they didn't care."

He directly criticized two central elements of Trump's economic and foreign policies.

"Tariffs have made everything too expensive, and the Iran war has dragged on too long," Cruz wrote. "It should have been brief, decisive, and over. It needs to end, and we should never, under any circumstances, give the Ayatollah billions of dollars."

Cruz also warned that Democrats would use their victories to pursue policies he opposes on taxes, energy, immigration, and transgender issues.

He predicted "open persecution, and nonstop retaliation" against Trump, his family, administration officials, and business leaders, singling out Elon Musk as a potential target.

"Make no mistake. Nationally, the radicals are in charge. The communists and the Islamists who have taken over the Democrat Party have now taken over the United States Congress. They will be unleashed," Cruz wrote.

Cruz said his response would involve opposing Democrat proposals he considers harmful while working across party lines when possible. He pledged to "work with Democrats when they're willing to be reasonable."

Cruz said the consequences were particularly significant in Texas, a longtime Republican stronghold where the GOP lost every statewide race on the ballot, including Gov. Greg Abbott's reelection bid and Ken Paxton's Senate campaign.

"If the newly elected radicals push policies that hurt Texas, raising taxes, destroying jobs, opening the border, releasing violent criminals, threatening our children, undermining our constitutional rights, I will fight with all of my strength to defend Texas and to defend the Constitution," he wrote.

Cruz also called for rebuilding the Republican Party "as a true blue-collar party, not by embracing socialism, but by being real free-market conservatives," he wrote.

Despite the defeats, Cruz expressed confidence that Republicans could regain their standing in his home state.

"Texas will be red again," he said. "We have not suddenly become a bunch of tofu-eating, gun-banning, tutu-wearing pinko commie liberals. That ain't us. Texas is still Texas."

Jamie Raskin Left Fumbling After Dan Crenshaw Exposes a Dem Party Pre-Election Ploy

Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw (TX-02) brought two Senate votes to CNN’s midterm postmortem Wednesday. One was on a bill restricting stock purchases by members of Congress. The other was on a bill aimed at keeping the cost of powering big AI data centers off household electric bills. 

Both passed the House. Senate Democrats blocked both from advancing, though four crossed over on the data center bill. Crenshaw argued Democrats did it to deny Republicans a win before Election Day. 

Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08) started counting. Republicans had the House, the Senate, and the White House. Three for three. But then the Texas Republican asked him to count votes. Both motions needed 60. 

“Dude, do you understand how the Senate works? You need 60 votes. Do you understand that?”

The Stop Insider Trading Act, which the Trump administration backed, would have barred members from buying individual stocks. Only 13 House Democrats voted for it in July. It covered spouses, too, and came with new reporting requirements. Come September 30, the Senate needed seven votes from outside the GOP to take up the bill. Look down the roll call for a Democrat or an independent who said yes. There isn’t one. The vote was 53–47. 

The voter ID language was already in the bill when it passed the House. Senate Democrats called it a “poison pill.” They also said members of Congress ought to sell the stocks they already held. I’m with them on that second point. But a senator who wanted to buy more stock the next morning could go right ahead, thanks in part to the people insisting the bill wasn’t tough enough. 

The next vote was on the Ratepayer Protection Act. It gave states a framework to stick big AI data centers with their own power costs. The complaint from Senate Democrats was that states could choose whether to use it. A fair criticism, if you’re trying to get a stronger bill passed. It sounds a lot less impressive when the alternative is nothing. 

The bill passed the House 417–3, then died in the Senate 57–43, three votes short of 60. Only Democrat Sens. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) joined Republicans.

Crenshaw said Democrats blocked the bills to deny Republicans a win, and bet they’d back them once the midterms were over.

“You guys blocked all of that because the midterms were coming, and I bet you’re going to be in favor of it after the midterms. Do not lie and say anything different.”

From there, Raskin went after Trump’s finances, alleging he’d collected $2.2 billion in his first year from foreign governments, royalty, and crypto interests. By the time he got to Lincoln, the electric bill was a distant memory. 

“He’s dragged your whole party down. Abraham Lincoln created your party. Donald Trump destroyed your party, and you went down with it.”

After the interview, Crenshaw refused to back down, posting his full take on X:

“Democrats BLOCKED bipartisan legislation on data centers... and BLOCKED bipartisan legislation to stop stock trading. Why? Because they wanted to RUN ON THESE ISSUES IN THE MIDTERMS. Yes, it’s a classic cynical political ploy, and the public almost always falls for it. Smart politics? Yes. Ethical governance? Hell no.”

He also claimed Raskin “admitted that he believed good policy should take a back seat to good politics. That mentality disgusts me.”

Back in March, Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge asked the companies building these facilities to pick up the full tab for the power and infrastructure they need. That’s the question I’d want answered if a data center were going up near my house. Who pays?

Democrats won both chambers. When they take over, they can put their own bills on the floor. I’d start with the parts they said were too weak in September. Did they make lawmakers sell their stocks? Did they get households a better deal on power? If all they changed was the name at the top of the bill, they’ll have made Crenshaw’s point for him.

Editor's Note: President Trump is leading America into the "Golden Age" as Democrats desperately try to stop it.

Another Setback for Spanberger’s Gun Ban As Judge Brings Virginia Itself Under the Injunction

A Lancaster County judge has handed Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) another courtroom setback, blocking Virginia’s state agencies from enforcing her ban on so-called assault firearms, including AR-15-style rifles, and on magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. Until Monday, Nov. 2, the preliminary injunction in Crump v. Katz was aimed at the Virginia State Police, whose superintendent, Jeffrey S. Katz, is the named defendant. Judge John S. Martin added the Commonwealth, its agencies and its employees over the state’s objection.

The state lost on who the injunction covers, but Martin denied the rest of the plaintiffs’ motion, and the state agreed to that denial. The order doesn’t restate the deadline, but it keeps the earlier timetable, which, under the June 30 injunction, runs through Dec. 31 unless the court acts sooner. Martin carried over the terms of his earlier orders, so the state agencies he added have to follow the same rules the Virginia State Police have been under. 

Plaintiffs’ Motion is GRANTED to the extent that the Commonwealth of Virginia, its agencies and employees are hereby preliminarily enjoined subject to the same terms and duration outlined in the Preliminary Injunction entered June 30, 2026 and Order entered September 10, 2026.

Plaintiffs’ Motion is DENIED in all other respects.

The Gun Owners Foundation put both pages online. Counsel for the Commonwealth, including Assistant Attorneys General Calvin C. Brown and Pebbles I. Burgess, recorded their objection right under Martin’s signature.

🚨Breaking in Virginia🚨 A court has expanded GOA’s preliminary injunction against Virginia’s ban on "assault firearms" and magazines over 15 rounds, enjoining all agencies and employees of the Commonwealth from enforcing the new laws. https://t.co/qsm6uhKeRx

— Gun Owners Foundation (@GunFoundation) November 3, 2026

You can own a rifle legally for years and still run into Senate Bill 749 when you go to sell it. The bill Spanberger signed in May reaches the next owner, too, by restricting purchases and other transfers. It also restricts imports and manufacturing. Even if you keep the rifle, the law makes it a crime to buy, sell, or transfer magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. The statute doesn’t make simply owning one a crime.

For the person selling that rifle, this is a question about an ordinary transaction. For the state, it’s a chance to bring a criminal case. That’s a pretty good reason to welcome the judge’s decision to bring more of the state under the injunction while he hears the challenge.

Martin’s November order leaves local sheriffs, police departments and prosecutors unaddressed. Back in June, we reported that 13 Virginia Commonwealth’s attorneys had already said they wouldn’t enforce the ban. Spotsylvania County Commonwealth’s Attorney Ryan Mehaffey explained why he was willing to say so publicly.

“The assault weapons ban and the public carry ban are obviously unconstitutional. And it's incumbent upon constitutional officers in Virginia to come out and clearly state that they cannot be lawfully enforced, and to defend the people's rights to keep and bear arms.” 

There’s also a separate case out of Washington County. In July, Judge Jeffrey Campbell broadened an injunction in Santolla v. Katz to apply statewide, effective July 21. Monday’s order came in Crump v. Katz, where the Commonwealth itself had been added as a defendant.

The Crump plaintiffs argue that the restrictions violate the right to keep and bear arms under Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution. Richmond still has to defend those restrictions in court. While it does, the Commonwealth, which objected to being covered, has to abide by the injunction.

Editor’s Note: The radical Left will stop at nothing to enact their extreme gun control agenda and strip us of our Second Amendment rights.

That Didn't Take Long: Jewish Businesses in Philly Targeted Ahead of Nazi Kristallnacht Protest

After electing anti-Israel politicians like Abdul El-Sayed, Democrat supporters aren't even hiding their rank antisemitism anymore, it seems. In Philly, the anti-Israel activist group Philly Bike On Your Left is telling Jewish businesses to leave the city ahead of a November 8 protest dubbed the "Boycott Ride." They're doing this on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, when Nazis and their supporters attacked Jewish communities in Germany and Austria on November 9-10, 1938. At least 91 Jews were murdered and Jewish-owned storefronts were destroyed.

Jewish-owned stores in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood are being told to leave. In an Instagram post about the event, the graphic reads "These Zionist establishments must go! Not in our city!" with names of the businesses behind red "no" symbols (red circles with a red line through the middle). The graphic also says that the protest is a way to "show these zio business owners that we see them for the disgusting humans they are."

Businesses targeted include the Mac Mart, co-owned by Marti Lieberman, the K'Far Cafe, Huda Burger, Goldi, Dizengoff, and Schlesinger's.

Lieberman told The New York Post, "It’s scary. You can’t get a break, and now I have to worry about being born Jewish." She believes protesters think the Star of David necklace she wears means she's pro-Israel.

"These people think I’m [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu. I literally am just a Jewish girl from the suburbs who started a business," she said. No, they know she's a Jewish girl. That is their problem with her.

Yehuda Sichel of Huda Burger is also angry about this. He's the grandson of Holocaust survivors. But Sichel said he's not going to be intimidated. "They said on their own flyer they want to push Zionists out of their city, but obviously we are not going to be intimidated by this kind of stuff," he told The New York Post. Sichel also said they get "huge support" from the community.

The New York Post also reported that Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday called the planned boycott "deeply unsettling," and warned against violence. "By explicitly targeting businesses because their owners are Jewish, the organizers are engaging in a form of discrimination that falls back on some of the oldest antisemitic tropes and tactics in history," he said in a statement. "This is not simply a protest directed at the policies of Israel, rather it singles out our fellow Pennsylvanians based on their Jewish identity, targeting them for policies they have nothing to do with and no ability to affect because of their faith."

Groups like the Anti-Defamation League Philadelphia, StandWithUs, and others issued a joint statement as well.

"It's Jew-hatred, plain and simple," they said. "Marking businesses for removal from Philadelphia is an attempt to intimidate, marginalize, and exclude members of the Jewish community from the economic and civic life of our city."

Democrats love to say that America feels like 1938 Nazi Germany under the Trump administration. They were right, but not because of Trump — but because their radical base hates Jews and Israel.

John Thune, Please Go Away Now

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) will run for minority leader. Does this man have no shame? Thune wasn’t a total failure, but he presided over a horrendous cycle, the worst for the GOP in 60-plus years. There’s no escaping that, and the ongoing legislative games over DHS funding, along with an ‘aw shucks’ attitude toward passing the Save America Act, are part of it. 

We knew the sooner, the better on that bill, a key Trump initiative aimed at election integrity. Instead, he dithered. He claimed two dozen Republicans wouldn’t nuke the legislative filibuster. And? Name names, sir. Take away the gavels and apply maximum pressure. 

Because now there is no more Save America Act. It’s gone, forever dead. We had a window to ensure that only Americans vote in our elections, but the institutions and procedures. Yeah, you think Democrats are going to follow the rules? They won’t. Nuking the filibuster will happen next session, and all our side can do is watch and lament what could’ve been done if it weren’t panican trash. It’s weaknesses like this that make me less motivated to support and defend these guys. Moral victories no longer suffice. Now we have to work to regain voters' trust and our congressional majorities. 

Video  3mo ago

🔥 @LarryOConnor RIPS John Thune and Senate Republicans for asking voters to keep their majority while giving them little to vote for: “You’ve got the leadership right now. Do something with it.” “Republican senators didn’t have a whole lot to show when they went back to their states. That’s just the truth.”

— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) November 4, 2026

That will be done without Thune. You had your shot man, and you blew it:

Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration. I’m proud of our team and everything we’ve done for the American people, and I’m looking forward to the important work we have in front of us over the next few months. As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.

Just go away, man. We’re all sick of you.

@LeaderJohnThune You wouldn’t pass legislation that 80% of the country wanted. There was no obstruction, you were a majority. WERE. I’m deeply saddened by our many losses, but glad you will no longer be in charge.

Trump: Fox News 'bears responsibility' for Dem. sweep in midterm elections by 'constantly and consistently putting on the Dumocrat opposition'

President Donald Trump bashed Fox News after the GOP lost numerous races in the midterm elections, stating the network bears “responsibility for these losses.”

Democrats took control of both the Senate and the House on Tuesday evening, flipping seats in historically deep red states such as Texas, South Carolina and Kansas — dramatically tilting power in Washington.

Following the elections, President Trump argued that because Fox News “constantly and consistently” hosted figures such as former mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio (D-N.Y.) in the weeks leading up to the midterm elections, the network ultimately led to the success of the Democrat party across the United States.

“Why does FoxNews have Bill de Blasio, the Worst Mayor in the History of New York City, on air, ranting and raving like a Lunatic? He left the City in disgrace, and the damage he caused was incalculable — It has never been the same, and now he’s telling us how to run America. FoxNews bears responsibility for these losses by constantly and consistently putting on the Dumocrat opposition, and worse. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

 

Trump Truth Social Post

On Tuesday, Trump stated that Fox News ratings were reportedly down by 27%.

“FoxNews Ratings are way down (27%!) because they’re spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats! All of those people who used to watch Fox, and no longer do, get it. It’s them, not me — My numbers are better than they have ever been. The new CNN Poll stated that ‘TRUMP’ is at 99% among Republicans and, among Republican Presidents, ‘TRUMP’ is at 53%, compared to Ronald Reagan at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln at 8%! Fox knows this, and so does everyone else!” he said. “Also, why is Fox Corp. spending so much money donating to the Worst of the Worst, including Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, Pete Aguilar, the California Dumocratic Party, the Dumocratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Dumocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the CHC Bold PAC, and the New Dumocrat Coalition Action Fund, among others? No wonder FoxNews Ratings are collapsing, and they’re going to go down a lot further. They’re way down, not because of me, but because they are AGAINST me! This happened once before, and Fox almost collapsed. It’s happening again!”

Trump Truth Social Post

In a press release last week, Fox News reported 1.1 million average viewers for October, down about 27% from the same month a year before.

Trump Delivered on Promises — GOP Lost the Midterms

 Democrats swept to power in both chambers of Congress this week, and the first headlines were all shock and finger‑pointing. President Donald Trump quickly blamed the loss on the simple idea that “I wasn’t on the ballot,” while Republican leaders and strategists turned around and blamed him. The neat truth is messier: Republicans lost because the president did exactly what he promised — and the country reacted the only way it can, at the ballot box.

“I wasn’t on the ballot” — a convenient talking point

President Trump went public saying, in effect, that the midterms were a loss because he wasn’t literally on the ticket. It’s a tidy excuse and plays well to the base. Trouble is, he spent months telling voters to “pretend I’m on the ballot.” You can’t cheer for a policy and then complain when people vote for or against that policy. Voters aren’t magic. They vote on what they see and feel: prices at the pump, the border, and whether the country is at war.

He kept his promises — and voters judged him for it

Let’s be blunt: President Trump did what he said he would do. He pushed tough tariff policies, took a hard line on immigration, and green‑lit military moves that opened a new chapter with Iran. Those moves changed people’s lives. Higher fuel and food prices hit working families. Contested endorsements and a few scandal‑plagued candidates hurt Republicans down ballot. That is the political price of governing boldly. If Republicans expected no consequences after a term of big, visible actions, they were living in fantasy land.

The GOP now has to choose: double down or course correct

Already the blame game is loud in GOP circles. House Republican leadership is in flux as Speaker Mike Johnson signals he won’t stay in the same role, and lawmakers are arguing over whether to retreat from Trump’s agenda or embrace it with fewer mistakes. Here’s a painful but simple fact for the party: you can’t have it both ways. If you elect leaders who make big changes, you must stand by their choices — and recruit competent, scandal‑free candidates to carry the message to voters.

Republicans should stop whining about who was or wasn’t on the ballot and start asking how to win the next one. That means honest lessons on messaging, better candidates, and owning the effects of your policies — good and bad. And if you’re going to promise big, bold change, be ready to both defend it and explain why it helps real people. Otherwise the next “convenient excuse” will be waiting in line at the ballot box, and it won’t be fooled by slogans or social‑media spin.

Iran Gloats Over Democratic Midterms – Trump Must Show Strength

 Iran’s leaders moved fast to celebrate the Democratic gains in the U.S. midterm elections and to spin the vote as a defeat for President Donald Trump’s foreign policy. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei both posted messages framing the results as proof that Americans reject “war,” while an adviser to the IRGC warned Gulf states they would pay a price if they let U.S. forces strike Iran from their soil. That noise is loud — and dangerous — but it should not be mistaken for a change in reality.

Tehran’s Gloat: What Iran Said About the Midterms

Key messages from Ghalibaf, Khamenei, and the IRGC

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on social media that Americans “said NO TO WAR,” a line Tehran is using to claim political validation. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei posted a longer statement saying U.S. hostility won’t end just because of partisan shifts and warning that Iran will not make concessions. At a rally, IRGC adviser Hamidreza Moghadamfar threatened that Iran could expand its response beyond U.S. bases and even name-checked Gulf states like the UAE and Bahrain if they host strikes. That trio of messages is Tehran’s attempt to turn an American political moment into strategic advantage.

Noise Versus Capability: Don’t Confuse Taunts with Power

Let’s be blunt: a newspaper cartoon of President Donald Trump blindfolded and a few social posts do not change the fact that the U.S. remains militarily dominant and politically resilient. Elections matter in Washington, but they do not instantly strip the president of tools to protect Americans and allies. Tehran’s gloating is propaganda dressed up as analysis. The real risk is that bluster from Tehran and nervous Western governments could lead to miscalculation — the very outcome Iran seems eager to provoke.

What the Midterms Actually Mean for U.S. Policy and Gulf Security

Yes, Democratic gains in Congress can complicate the White House’s political landscape and increase oversight of military actions. But Congress rarely moves fast enough to stop an immediate, necessary response to aggression. The smarter takeaway is that U.S. leaders should use this moment to make policy clearer, reassure Gulf partners, and deter further Iranian adventurism. If Washington wavers now, Iran’s threats won’t stay words for long; they will become tests. And allies in the Gulf deserve better than fear-driven guesswork.

No Free Pass for Tehran — Time for Strength, Not Celebrations

Iran’s leadership is celebrating because it wants Americans to think the vote weakened our spine. Don’t buy the narrative. President Donald Trump and Congress should treat the midterms as a reminder to sharpen strategy, not to hand Tehran a propaganda victory. Democrats can oppose unnecessary wars and still stand with U.S. allies; if they choose otherwise, they’ll share responsibility for any fallout. Tehran can gloat in state newspapers and on social media — but that doesn’t change who holds the power to stop a war. And if Iran miscalculates, it will be the one paying the price, not the voters hyped up by state propaganda.

Trump Reacts to GOP Losses: I Wasn't on Ballot

President Donald Trump insisted Tuesday night that Republicans would have won the midterm elections in a landslide if he had been on the ballot, as Democrats were projected to recapture the House and scored major Senate victories in their push to take control of Congress.

"I wasn't on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!" Trump declared in a Truth Social post.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP," he added.

Trump's assessment came as Republicans suffered significant election-night setbacks, with Newsmax projecting Democrats would reclaim the House, threatening the GOP's ability to advance the president's agenda during his final two years in office.

Democrats also made gains in the Senate, where Republicans entered Election Day with a 53-47 majority.

Newsmax projected Democrat James Talarico the winner of the closely watched Texas Senate contest against Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, a major pickup for Democrats in a state where Republicans have dominated statewide elections for more than three decades.

Talarico's projected victory would mark the first time a Democrat has won a statewide election in Texas since 1994 and the first Democrat Senate victory in the state since 1988.

Democrats also flipped a Republican-held Senate seat in North Carolina, where former Gov. Roy Cooper defeated Republican Michael Whatley, according to the Associated Press.

Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff won reelection in Georgia, defeating Republican Rep. Mike Collins and denying Republicans a pickup they had hoped would help preserve their majority.

In New Hampshire, Democrat Rep. Chris Pappas defeated Republican John Sununu for an open Senate seat, keeping it in Democratic hands.

The election unfolded against a difficult political backdrop for Trump, who has been battling declining approval ratings, persistent concerns about rising consumer prices and controversy over the U.S. war with Iran.

Early CBS News exit polling put Trump's job approval rating at 38%, with roughly six in 10 voters saying the president was a factor in their House vote.

 

The Iran conflict has added to the political pressure on the administration, with higher energy costs contributing to Americans' concerns about affordability and critics questioning the military campaign.

Trump has defended the operation as necessary to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and protect American national security interests.

The president spent the closing weeks of the campaign traveling to battleground states and urging his supporters to vote for Republican candidates as though his own name were on the ballot.

"I'm just asking everybody to pretend that I'm on the ballot," Trump said during a Monday appearance on Fox News' "Hannity."

Trump argued that his presence on the ballot historically draws substantially more Republican voters to the polls.

"If our people vote, we win in a landslide," he said.

Trump also warned that a Democrat takeover of Congress could threaten major elements of his second-term agenda, including tax cuts and other economic policies.

The president acknowledged Monday that the party controlling the White House has historically struggled in midterm elections, but insisted Republicans had mounted a strong effort to overcome that pattern.

A Democrat-controlled House could block major Republican legislative initiatives and launch investigations into the Trump administration, while a Democrat Senate majority could complicate confirmation of presidential nominees and federal judges.

Trump has made clear that he would use his presidential veto power to challenge legislation he opposes should Democrats take control of Congress.
