MID-TERM ELECTIONS 2018. It has been 24-hours since most election polls have closed. The votes are still coming in from California and will continue to for the next few weeks. The Democrats have nabbed 222 House of Representative seats. They also climbed to 44 seats in the Senate which still has Republicans with total control. This election is historic as 100 Women grab congressional seats. Two of them are Native American and/or Indigenous candidates.
The day after the election. Trump held a press conference and argued with several reporters over racism, the Russia investigation and claiming that the news media is the "enemy." He also attacked Republicans who lost and blamed them for not supporting him. Why is he on this rampage? Well, the Democrats now have the power in the "House" to subpoena Trump on his taxes, possible corruption and to question witnesses in the Russia investigation.
Also, Jeff Sessions resigned as Attorney General today. Reports say that Trump asked for his resignation because he was fired. Sessions recused himself from the Russian investigation early-on, much to Trump's dismay.
