Donald Trump and the Republican Party are right to be terrified of the November midterms. These are rarely good news for any president, but this year predictions are particularly gloomy thanks to cratering presidential approval ratings and recent shock Democratic wins in deep red states.
In the event of a Democratic landslide, Trump’s presidential powers become much more limited overnight. Sure, he may not care so much about the legality of what he’s doing, but without control of the Senate and House, he’ll find it much harder to push through new laws and find his ability to enforce executive orders greatly diminished.
