Not american, wanted to know what exactly the dems can now do that they couldn’t before. What does this mean for the supreme court, and what does it mean for the next presidential elections?

        That would be a huge mistake. They now control the senate, which means they can open an investigation. That was something they couldn’t do before. They may not have a super majority, but they can get everything into official record and force the republicans to explicitly say they support the presidents illegal activities.

            I know, but being able to add the impeachment label still has impact. So I am hoping that it happens.

            I don’t think that should be the first thing. They should investigate others first to lay a foundation. Make it clear the scope of corruption and illegality, then carry out the presidential impeachment and directly investigate the president.
