Reaction to a 53 R senate but Dem house

[Virginiá]

Annoyed

Controlling the White House without the Senate these days is a massive impediment to governing. You're already kind of screwed without a unified Congressional majority, but no Senate means your judicial nominees will not be confirmed and your executive appointees will be delayed or blocked entirely, and those who are confirmed will probably not be first choices.

Neither party is going to let the other govern anymore, although Republicans are definitely further down that path than Democrats. We've been headed for a trash everything and blame it on the president and their party dynamic for a while, regardless of the consequences.
