Nothing anymore. Sometimes the balance of power shifts. Same ole nothing burger for Black people.
US has a Presidential election every 4 years. President doesn’t make laws that’s what the Congress does. So when a President gets elected they want as many people in their party in congress too.
Two years into the President’s term we get to vote for who is going to congress. We can either vote for people who are the same party od the president or the opposite party.
So the significance is that if the Congress is controlled by the opposite party of the President after the midterms, the president basically won’t be able to get the laws he wants passed to go through.
Thanks guys for the clarity. So in effect, its Congress that holds power?Control of the legislature, as you know our Congress is akin to your Parliament but with your new Parliaments there is a new leader.
The huge significance is that if the Republicans get control of the Congress they can pretty much block anything Biden wants to do. So, the next 2 years Biden will be a dead duck.
There are two parts to the Congress. Likely the Republicans get control of the House of Representatives. They sign off on spending, make federal laws along with the Senate, among other things. They could get control of the Senate. They confirm federal judges, including the Supreme Court. Confirm Ambassadors, among other duties.
Democrats have control of both pre-election by a thin margin. They lose either, the Republicans can stall a lot of things.
No branch of the US Government has too much power…at least that’s what they wrote on paper. The President can veto any legislation the Congress passes, he can also make certain “laws” himself called “Executive Orders”.Thanks guys for the clarity. So in effect, its Congress that holds power?
That's a major oversimplification. Watch these short videos, they will give you a better understanding of the American political structure.Thanks guys for the clarity. So in effect, its Congress that holds power?

She's NOT for us, so she probably never will.I bet Stacey wished she talked about Reparations now.
And these are the exact same kind of supporters that will toss their wallets and panties to the nearest pastor that speaks the "word of God" only to get nothing but empty lip service and "feel good vibes" in return. Idiots.Warnock supporters are donating to his campaign for the run off election on December 6. I still hope he loses.
The Democratic caped for Gillum hard while he was running because they knew he was giving up the bussy to white and latino men and knew if they got him elected he was fully controlled. They saw Obama 2.0Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum could've bearded for each other. They have a lot in common. They're both Black, they lost Governor elections, they quit, and they're not straight. Stacey Abrams better hope her white paymasters don't break her like they did Andrew Gillum. You know Stacey is hurting right now. Her white paymasters are seething.
