Battle for Power 

     "The Democratic Party is on track to win a slim majority in the House. It also has a realistic path to majority in the Senate. President Trump relies on executive action instead of congressional legislation. But Democratic victories have the potential to create significant headaches for the next two years and may influence the 2028 presidential election."

     "The Republican Party doesn't have much momentum. Presidential popularity is low. The economy is not doing well. Thanks to congressional redistricting Republicans built a good firewall. But winning a majority in the House would give Democrats control of committees, and subpoena power. A third Trump impeachment might actually benefit Republicans. Trump will say Democrats are crazy left wing, and they'll go on an orgy of hatred." 

     "The Democratic Party is struggling with internal divisions, A new group of far-left candidates, some endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, are poised to win elections. They will oppose U.S. military aid to Israel. A professor says bills on military funding will be where the Democratic Party potentially breaks apart."             

     "In the Senate, Republicans have 53 seats and Democrats 45, plus two independents who caucus with them. A 50-50 tie would give Republicans an edge, as the vice president holds the tie-breaking vote. A Democratic majority in the Senate would open the way for a new - if any - nominee for the Supreme Court. President Trump's nominations for lower federal courts would grind to a stop."
