Explained simply
Rosie O’Donnell is an American comedian and television presenter who has had a long-running public feud with Donald Trump. She moved to Dublin after Trump won a second term as US president in 2024.
The United States holds midterm elections halfway through a president’s four-year term. Voters elect members of Congress, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate; control of either chamber can affect how easily a president advances policies and faces scrutiny. A “blue wave” is an informal term for strong election gains by the Democratic Party.
