Direct answer

Katty predicts Democrats will take the House, while Anthony discusses Republicans potentially retaining the Senate, creating divided government. Anthony says that would leave almost no chance of legislation because Trump does not legislate through Congress. He compares it with Barack Obama’s final years after losing both chambers. Katty says the result could create a “vibe shift” in how America is seen and in Democratic confidence, and could mark the beginning of the end of MAGA if conditions persist.
