Technicalities are important. Parties can campaign on that and peopld vote on it but there us no obligation, only majorities in Parliament. Things like that, the letter of thff es law start to matter especially during constitional crises.
Trump is nervous about the mid terms for a reason. His agenda of dismantlig state institutions, rule of law and democracy could run into a dead lock with an actively hostile legislative.
Trump is nervous because he's a psycho who needs constant validation and humiliation in midterms can damage his image of beloved leader.
His agenda is fine. All the institutions are already dismantled. DOGE already fired everyone that can be fired, they got the budget they wanted, billionaires got their tax cuts. What will democrats do with the majority? Republicans will filibuster everything, Trump will not sign anything they will pass. Will they provoke another shutdown? Remember how the last one ended? Democrats folded. The midterms will not change Democratic leadership. You can cling on to technicalities but the midterms will not Budapest anything because the system is completely different.
