You know what happens if you don't vote?

You go to hell.

You know that.

A blue wave has hit America.

Democrats took back control of Congress.

And they didn't just win majority, they blew past it.

First, the polls close.

Then, the dominoes started falling.

Just before 10 p .m.

Eastern, the first networks projected

Democrats would take the House.

The Senate was called for Democrats at 11 .35 p .m.

To put that in perspective, Republicans walked in holding 53

Senate seats and 218 House seats.

As of November 6, Democrats had a net gain of 30 seats in the House and a net 7 in the Senate.

NBC projects Democrats will end up with around 255

House seats, possibly their biggest majority in nearly 20 years.

And it is only the fifth time since World War II that one party has flipped both chambers in a midterm.

Now, Texas.

Remember that statistical tie?

James Tallarico beat Ken Paxton.

Well, let me start off by congratulating James Tallarico.

I will commit that I will be praying for him

that he will do good for texas in this nation he's

the first democrat to win any statewide race in texas since 1994 and the first sent to the senate since 1988.

we just showed

that a politics of division is no match for a politics

of love tallarico is 37 a former middle school teacher four -term state lawmaker from austin

he will be the youngest member of the Senate.

And Texas was not done there.

Gina Hinojosa unseated

Governor Greg Abbott, the first

Democrat to hold the office since Ann Richards in the early 90s.

She becomes the state's first Latina governor.

This is our Texas, this is our government, and this is our one fight.

And tonight we won.

Abbott had never lost a general election since his first race in 1996.

The Senate map broke wide open.

In Kansas, Methodist pastor Adam Hamilton became the first

Democrat to win a Senate race there since 1932.

In South Carolina, pediatrician Annie Andrews won in a state that had not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1998.

In Maine, Susan Collins, a senator for nearly three decades, lost to Democrat Troy Jackson.

Josh Turek won Iowa.

Roy Cooper flipped North Carolina.

Sherrod Brown took back Ohio.

And then there's

Michigan, arguably the most watched

Senate race in the country.

Abdul Al -Sayed, a 42 -year -old epidemiologist, Rhodes Scholar, and former Detroit Health Commissioner, defeated

Republican Mike Rogers.

The race wasn't called until 1 .33 in the morning.

He becomes the first ever

Muslim elected to the U .S.

Senate.

You took a chance on the unlikeliest of candidates, So thank you.

I cannot wait to serve you with the same big -heartedness,

open -mindedness, grit, and earnestness that you've shown me." And he did it the hard way.

It was the most expensive election in Michigan history, more than $243 million.

And Rodgers and his allies outspent him roughly three to two.

Abdul, well, he says football is racist, sexist, and dominated by toxic masculinity.

So let's get this straight.

Abdul thinks football is bad, but men playing women's sports is good.

Trump campaigned for Rogers.

Barack Obama campaigned for El -Sayed.

Then two days before the vote, a twist.

Hey, Michigan.

As you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U .S.

Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign.

And that's why I am endorsing

Mike Rogers for the United States Senate.

Haley Stevens, the Democrat El -Sayed beat in the primary, endorsed his Republican opponent.

Chuck Schumer called it a betrayal.

Well, it didn't matter.

Young voters carried him.

About 69 % of voters under 30 backed El -Sayed.

It was also a night of first.

Keisha Lance Bottoms won Georgia, ending 250 years without a Black woman elected governor of any state.

I have said over the past few days, if I were your woman, Well, now I am your woman.

Deb Holland, a Laguna Pueblo citizen, became the first

Native American woman elected governor in New Mexico.

Wisconsin elected its first

Black governor, David Crowley.

Amy Acton became Ohio's first woman governor.

And in New Hampshire, Chris Pappas became the first openly gay man elected to the Senate.

In Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan beat Michelle Tafoida to become the first

Native American woman ever elected to the Senate.

Republicans made history, too.

Byron Donalds became the first

Black person ever elected statewide in Florida, and the first

Black Republican elected governor in the country.

After these results, the reactions came fast.

On the phone with Fox News, President Trump congratulated Democrats.

But he said he did not see the results as a judgment on him.

He told CBS he looked forward to working with them, adding that otherwise he would simply veto everything.

I feel certain that we'll get along as well as you can with the Democrats that came into office.

Just in case they do send us things, we have a veto, you know, the president has a veto power.

And Elon Musk posted on X that data senders in space were starting to look appealing.

So this is the scoreboard.

The bigger question is, how did this happen?

100

Donald Trump is about to go!

101

You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel.

102

You are disgusting.

103

Put yourself in shape.

104

You look like hell.

105

some of this is history since world war ii the president's

106

party has lost an average of 26 house seats in midterms

107

and going in trump was more than 20 points underwater the

108

second worst approval heading into a midterm since 1946 behind only harry truman but this year one issue towered over the rest.

109

The war.

110

In the exit polls, 74 % of voters said the Iran war was a crucial or major factor in their vote.

111

We went to war with Iran for like absolutely no reason.

112

Just like we went to war with Iraq back in the day for no reason.

113

We're just getting involved in like all these stupid wars

114

and like spending all this money and stuff when we can be investing it here.

115

After the results, J .D.

116

Vance was quick to blame the Iran war for Republicans' midterm losses.

117

The war hit people at the pump.

118

87 % said they were concerned about gas prices.

119

About 6 in 10 blamed the president's policies for higher prices.

120

Even the president acknowledged it.

121

He said voters likely weren't willing to accept paying more for gasoline in the short term.

122

The war's other side was watching the midterms too.

123

Iran's top negotiator posted on X that

124

Americans had said no to war.

125

But then there was also corruption.

126

In the AP survey of about 80 ,000 voters, more people called government corruption crucial to their vote than said that about immigration,

127

the war, or AI data centers.

128

Campaigns aired more than 160 different ads mentioning Jeffrey Epstein, backed by over $35 million.

129

Of all 535 members of Congress, who's taken the most money from associates of Jeffrey Epstein?

130

Democrats outspent Republicans on those ads, roughly $53 million to $3 million.

131

And candidates matter too.

132

He may not dress right, he may not talk exactly perfectly, and he may not be the best -looking guy I've ever seen.

133

In Texas, President Trump endorsed

134

Ken Paxton over sitting

135

Senator John Corrin in the primary.

136

Paxton carried years of baggage, a federal corruption investigation that brought no charges, and an impeachment by his own party in the Texas House,

137

followed by acquittal in the state Senate.

138

He was also going through a divorce over alleged infidelity.

139

Whether you like

140

Ken or not, honestly, I mean, I understand some people are controversial, etc. I don't happen to be a controversial person.

141

Some prominent Republicans crossed over to Tallarico.

142

Cornyn was one of the first to celebrate Tallarico's win.

143

Also, the money was staggering.

144

Musk gave $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, which then gave that exact amount to the biggest outside group backing Paxton.

145

And it wasn't enough.

146

South Carolina had its own drama, Lindsey Graham died in July, and his sister Darlene was appointed to a seat.

147

We're right here at the end, and I'm just going to keep going on the best I can.

148

In the final stretch, the president attacked Andrews with an anti -trans slur, and former Republican Governor David Beasley publicly condemned it.

149

Now, let's talk about who actually showed up.

150

More than 51 million ballots were cast early, compared to under 46 million in 2022.

151

Early voting in South Carolina alone was up 83 percent.

152

And remember the map war, the gerrymandering.

153

The seats that pushed

154

Democrats past 218 was Texas's 35th district, which was redrawn in 2025 specifically to elect a Republican.

155

Democrat Johnny Garcia won it.

156

Now Republicans see things differently.

157

Pretend that I'm on the ballot because we get a lot more votes.

158

The president said voters simply did not like the candidates.

159

Trump has also argued that he was not on the ballot and if he was he would have won by a landslide.

160

Vice President Vance had also urged voters not to punish

161

Republicans over the war alone.

162

However, that warning wasn't enough.

163

Now, what happens next?

164

On January 3rd, the new

165

Congress is sworn in.

166

Hakeem Jeffries is in line to become

167

Speaker of the House.

168

They messed around, and now they're going to find out.

169

Until then, the old

170

Congress is still in charge, and Republicans are under pressure to pass a massive war funding bill before the new members arrive.

171

Jeffries has promised to move fast.

172

Within the first 100 hours, Democrats plan bills to restore

173

Affordable Care Act subsidies, reverse nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts,

174

end the president's tariffs, and require him to end the Iran war or get Congress's approval.

175

Now this is a lot to process, so you probably have a lot of questions.

176

Let's answer them.

177

All they do is they talk about impeaching everybody.

178

I mean, honestly, if we wanted to play that game, we could play it just as well.

179

Can Democrats impeach Trump?

180

Yes, the House can impeach with a simple majority.

181

Some Democrats want to, but the party is divided.

182

But removing a president takes two -thirds of the Senate.

183

That's 67 votes.

184

Democrats would need more than a dozen

185

Republicans to join them.

186

Trump was impeached twice in his first term and acquitted both times.

187

Can the new

188

Congress end the war?

189

Not right away.

190

The War Powers Act appears to require

191

Congress to approve prolonged military action, but the president has found ways around it.

192

The real lever is money.

193

Experts say cutting off war funding is the strongest way to push the administration to negotiate.

194

And any bill still faces a presidential veto, which takes two -thirds of both chambers to override.

195

Will anybody else get impeached?

196

Probably Hegseth, the defense secretary.

197

A resolution to impeach

198

Pete Hegseth over military actions in Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, and elsewhere has already been filed by outgoing

199

Republican Thomas Massey.

200

A disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies, has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly.

201

What kind of things will Congress investigate?

202

A lot.

203

The president's family business dealings, including crypto ventures that have earned him more than $1 billion, and the conduct of ICE and Homeland Security.

204

Democrats have also promised probes into how the administration handled the Epstein files.

205

Talking about Epstein today, Donald Trump signed that law to release all of those documents.

206

He is the most transparent president in the nation's history.

207

The Dow is over $50 ,000.

208

I don't know why you're laughing.

209

You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin.

210

Can they pass whatever they want?

211

No. Most legislation still needs 60 votes in the Senate.

212

What a Democratic Senate can do is block the president's nominees, including judges who serve for life.

213

Whatever side you are on, one thing about this election is hard to argue with.

214

People showed up and they made their voices heard.

215

Now comes the next chapter, governing a country that may still be divided politically, but still shares many of the same hopes for the future.

216

Democrats hold Congress, Republicans hold the White House, and that means both parties will have to find common ground to move the country forward.

217

And while divided government comes with challenges, it also creates opportunities for compromise, cooperation, and new ideas.

218

The next two years could be a chance to turn political differences into meaningful progress.

219

And we'll be here to cover every step of it.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
