Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Could a Democratic Congress rein in President Trump? The 2026 midterm election 'concludes' two weeks from tomorrow. Michael examines what Democrats could actually accomplish if they reclaim control of the House, Senate, or both. From investigations and subpoenas to healthcare, tariffs, and judicial confirmations, Democrats have an ambitious agenda—but Trump's veto power and Senate rules present formidable obstacles. Drawing a provocative New York Times analysis by Jeffrey Toobin, Michael explores whether a blue wave would meaningfully constrain Trump's presidency—or simply set the stage for 2028.
