Democrats Offer First Glimpse Of What’s In Store For Trump Administration

Latest News DAILY CALLER POLITIKOOL · LATEST NEWS

Democrats captured both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, and some of their lawmakers are already talking about using the majority to scrutinize the Trump administration. Daily Caller reports that, as of its writing, the party had picked up more than two dozen House seats and seven Senate seats, among them Republican-leaning Texas and Kansas, plus Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maine and Iowa. Republicans stay in charge until January, but Democrats are not waiting to lay out their plans.

New Jersey Rep. Analila Mejia said on X that her party would hand out subpoenas with the abandon of Mardi Gras beads. Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey joked that forests would have to be planted to supply the paper. Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez went further, singling out Noem, Markwayne, Miller, Homan and Bovino with a message to clear their calendars. She also promised to hold what she called "every fascist in the administration" accountable.

While a few lawmakers have urged impeaching Cabinet officials, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said colleagues have not raised that idea with him.
