MODERATORS
Mid-term elections in nine months. This was a 'non-confidence' vote against Trump, American style. Seems there are Republicans that are afraid their constituents do not like the tariffs. If Canadians double down on the boycotts, this could swing the House. But if Trump goes, Vance will be ten times worse.
Vance's political capital will last about 5 minutes and then he'll have his feet chopped out from under him. He is not a power in that party, no matter how many times he grabs Erika Kirks leather clad ass.
Unfortunately - we don't really do "no confidence" votes for the president here. Unless he's impeached and removed for something truly awful and illegal (not sure what else he can do that's worse than what he's already done, but maybe I lack imagination), we've got years more to go of this shit.
If the mid-terms drastically go against Trump, this 'no confidence' could be easily reformulated as a means for impeachment.
you still think you'll have midterm elections?
In Canada? Of course we will still have elections and by-elections. Wait - you mean the Americans? They still have a few years before they cancel their elections. I think Vance wants to be formally elected. Looks good in the history books.
