Opening Argument

The prosecution argues that the recent midterm election results, where Democrats seized control of both the Senate and the House, are not merely a political victory but a catastrophic turning point for the nation. The prosecution alleges that this unprecedented power shift is a direct consequence of Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric and policies, which have alienated voters and led to this backlash.

The Hidden Danger
