CNN host Don Lemon opened his Thursday night show anticipating the drama to come to President Donald Trump as a new Democratic lead Congress was sworn in.
"As of today, it's a whole new world. A world where President Trump doesn't control Congress. A world where he can't rely on his own party to push through his agenda. A world where he can't bully Congress into giving him exactly what he wants," he said.
" Nancy Pelosi retook the gavel today, when Democrats took control of the House, they ushered in the most diverse Congress in history," he said.
Lemon then went on to describe the “rollercoaster” year Trump will most likely have.
"Remember, there are no fewer than 17 investigations of just about every aspect of this president's life. From his campaign to his administration to his allies to his businesses," Lemon said.
He added, "It's no coincidence that top Democrats on the judiciary committee introduced a bill today to protect special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired by President Trump. The same committee is trying to get acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker to answer their questions about protecting Mueller."
Lemon concluded by talking about the government shutdown. The shutdown has now extended to its 13th day, and there has been no progress made on a negotiation.
"This president has the bully pulpit. Nancy Pelosi has the gavel. Americans are waiting to see who gets the last word," he said.
