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?

    The US has 3 branches of government-congress, senate, and executive.

    The US does have three branches of governkent:

    • Legislative (Congress, made up of the House and the Senate)
    • Judicial (Federal courts including SCOTUS)
    • Executive (all the departments, with Trump as the chief executive)

    Republicans still have a majority of SCOTUS (who are theoretically nonpartisan, but definitely conservative and liberal) and control the executive (in the person of Trump), but lost control of both houses of Congress.
