“Republicans … have failed to actually deliver on making life more affordable for the American people,” Jeffries said to Dana Bash, the State of the Union host. “It was Donald Trump who promised to lower costs on day one. But we know that costs haven’t gone down in this country. Costs have gone up.

“It was Donald Trump … who said that he was elected not to start wars, endless wars in the Middle East, but to stop them – and then turned around and has gotten us involved in this reckless war of choice in Iran that has skyrocketed gas prices on the American people.”

I think the more likely scenario is they win a congressional majority and still do almost everything Donald wants, but it's possible that maybe 10-20 socialists get elected, and if they do, they can create a lot of problems for the billionaires and Donald.
