After Democrats win the midterms and take a majority in the Senate, their "number one" mission will be to keep MAGA in check long term, according to a political commentator.

Allison Gill, the progressive podcaster who runs Mueller, She Wrote, said during an interview that the "most important" task at hand for Democrats will be blocking Trump's nominees for the Supreme Court.

"One of the most important things is we have to block Supreme Court nominees in the next two years," Gill said, referring to the time left that Trump has in office for his second term.

She added that killing the filibuster and adding four seats to the Supreme Court should be a priority for the next Democratic president.

"Then we can have nice things again," Gill said. "But until that day, the number one thing we have to do is stop Supreme Court nominees from being confirmed, and we can only do that once we win the Senate."
