DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Exactly one year from today on November 6th 2018, are the mid-term elections. ALL members of the House are up for re-election (unless they've decided not to seek re-election) and one-third of the Senate is. This could bring big change to our government and turn the House and potentially the Senate against Trump, making it harder for him to accomplish things he wants to. Furthermore, 36 governors will be up for re-election. Trump may have federal power, but there are many things that only governors can do and he can't. If you live in the US and are of voting age, I suggest starting to research the candidates in your area.

I'm a little ignorant - why in particular is this one so consequential in VA? Same here!! Mostly because it’s the first competitive statewide election since Trump’s victory, so it is essentially a referendum on his presidency and sets the tone for these midterms in 2018! And also because Ed Gillespie sucks major a**. Yay democracy! I️ know it’s raining but if you want to come knock doors dm me and I️ can point you in the right direction!
