Democrats plan to confront Trump with investigations and economic agenda

Democrats are preparing to take control of both chambers of Congress after sweeping midterm victories, positioning Hakeem Jeffries to become the first Black Speaker of the House and Chuck Schumer to lead the Senate. The party plans to aggressively investigate President Trump and advance legislation on economic issues. Democrats aim to reverse Trump's tariffs, restore health insurance subsidies, and end the war in Iran, while launching probes into his business dealings and alleged corruption. They are considering impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth instead of Trump, hoping for bipartisan support, though internal divisions remain over strategy and leadership. The party faces challenges uniting its progressive and moderate wings, with incoming socialist lawmakers seeking leverage and leaders wary of overinterpreting the victory as a mandate. Democrats must balance confrontation with delivering tangible results to voters who may swing back to Republicans in 2028.
