Democrats' Texas win signals new limits on Trump's power

Democrats secured a decisive victory in the November 4 elections, with James Talarico winning a Texas Senate seat, breaking the party's losing streak in the state since 1988 and giving Democrats control of Congress and the Senate. The Democratic majority now limits President Trump's authority for his remaining term, potentially leading to investigations into alleged corruption and his reported $2.7 billion increase in personal wealth during his presidency, according to Forbes and the Brennan Center. The party faces key decisions on impeachment, foreign policy toward Ukraine and Iran, immigration enforcement, and restoring alliances with traditional partners, as observers question whether Democrats can reverse Trump's policies and rebuild international relationships.
