Two special elections in Florida on Tuesday could affect the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives. Republicans currently hold a 218-213 majority.
Both special elections are in districts that Republican lawmakers vacated and where Republicans outnumber Democrats by a 2-1 margin.
Democrats spent large amounts of money to try to flip the seats, and that financial advantage has some Republicans worried about Tuesday’s outcome.

Democracy for Sale | ENDEVR Documentary

Watch 'Who Rules America? ' here: https://youtu.be/swovERCu7n4

In America, lobby groups, corporations, and billionaires invest millions of dollars to ensure that the ‘right’ candidate wins elections. It affects everything from the selection of local officials to presidential elections and creates countless conflicts of interest, undermining what used to be a model democracy. And it has a serious impact on people’s daily lives. Drug prices are the highest in the world. Tax rates for the wealthy have fallen. Climate change is being denied. The impunity and extent of this are staggering. For many, this is nothing less than “legal corruption”.

Today, America “is just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery”, said former president Jimmy Carter himself. Rules seem to have been designed to be bypassed; supposedly impartial judges are elected with the help of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. We follow candidates on the field during the electoral process and hear from people whose lives have been directly affected.

With 71% of Americans saying economic conditions in the US today are poor, and with economic growth sharply declining in the first quarter of 2025, President Trump placed the blame on former President Biden. The "Inside Politics" panel reacts. #CNN #News

President-elect Donald Trump defeated the Democrats roundly with his argument that the United States needed a major shakeup. This election will go down in history as a “realigning election,” argues historian Geoff Kabaservice, director of policy studies at the Niskanen Center in Washington, DC.

Kabaservice tells host Steve Clemons that Americans are turning their back on “the establishment” from top to bottom: the media, bureaucracy, elite universities and celebrity culture. So does this mean the end of the “Washington consensus,” where both parties agreed on almost everything: trade, alliances, immigration, etc? Will Trumpism define the US for years to come?

Elon Musk has denied claims that he is leading a “hostile takeover” of the United States government, during an extraordinary joint press conference held with President Trump at the White House.

Musk, the billionaire technology entrepreneur, mounted a defence of his work leading the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), taking questions from the US media for the first time since Trump’s inauguration.

“The people voted for major government reform and that’s what the people are going to get,” he said, wearing a black Make America Great Again cap. “That’s what democracy is all about.”

Musk, who was appointed by Trump to lead the cost-cutting department rather than being elected for the role, described the “unelected” bureaucracy as subverting the “will of the people”.

In the first few weeks of Trump’s presidency, Musk has led an effort to dismantle federal agencies, buying out hundreds of thousands of workers from their jobs. He said he was talking to the president “almost every day” to make sure his team is following his wishes.
