Doug Haltz-Eakin: Economist and former Economic Advisor to John McCain on the outcome of the US Midterms

Tackling the cost of living and corruption, and ending the war in Iran are all top of the agenda for the new Democrat-controlled US Senate.

Democrats have powered through the US Midterm elections, flipping seven Senate seats and 31 in the House of Representatives from the Republicans.

Democrat Chuck Schumer is set to be Senate Majority Leader.

Economist and former Economic Advisor to John McCain Doug Haltz-Eakin told Ryan Bridge we'll likely see a lot of investigations by the Democrats over the next two years.

He says they'll be looking into the finances around crypto, and things like the secret agreements between the Trump Administration and US drug companies.
