Republicans feeling blue after U.S. Midterms
The United States House of Representatives is in the blue column, but the Senate remains Republican red.
The Democrats now have control of the House of Representatives after last night’s midterm elections.
University of Saskatchewan political studies Professor Kalowatie Deonandan said that result could mean there is now a check in place for President Donald Trump.
“Previously with the Republicans controlling the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, there was nobody really to be a check on Trump or demand accountability in any way,” said Deonandan. “That’s probably very good for the Republican Party, but perhaps not so good for democracy in general.”
