The US mid-term election is a "mid-term exam" for the Trump administration. In the context of accelerated political polarization and social division in the U.S., the contest between the two major parties has tended to be more fierce, and the intensity of "political violence" during the election,the huge election expenses and the high level of voter mobilization have never been seen over the past decades. After the election, the Republicans have remained in control of the Senate, while the Democrats have regained control of the House of Representatives, thus bringing new changes to the US political ecology. The election results indicate that the "identity politics" championed by the Democrats has achieved some success, while the "Trumpization" within the Republicans is continuing, with the liberal and conservative forces in the U.S.locked in an intensified seesaw battle.
