Whitehouse Statement on the MAGA Wipeout of 2026

Providence, RI – U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse today released the following statement after Democrats won control of the Senate and the House of Representatives in a massive victory for the American people: “It’s a new morning in America.  People from every corner of this great country chose to give Democrats the chance to bring down costs and put a check on this administration’s corruption.  We will not let them down. “This happened because the American people don’t want a president engorging himself by looting taxpayers.  They don’t want a Supreme Court, captured by the billionaire class, selling out our democracy.  They don’t want a rogue Justice Department and masked goons terrorizing innocent Americans. “We are ready for the hard work ahead to fix what’s badly broken and set a course for a new, brighter future for the country.”
