Schumer Promised Relief. Trump Promised Vetoes. Democrats Are 11 Senators Short

Two hours after both houses were called for Democrats, the president posted that he wasn’t on the ballot.

One table says this is what happens to every president in a midterm. The same table says nothing this big has happened since 2010. And neither man mentioned the one number that decides whether “relief” ever reaches you. It’s inside.
