Democrats win Congress: What Trump's final two years look like

Democrats have won control of both the House and Senate in the US midterm elections, delivering a resounding defeat to President Donald Trump's Republican Party and reshaping the final two years of his presidency. Trump was relatively gracious in defeat, praising Democratic campaigns, but has signaled he will use his veto power to block legislation. Analysts predict he may escalate actions against Iran and pivot on Russia policy, while Democrats could use their new congressional majority to investigate Trump's allies and force votes on military operations. The Democratic victory breaks the Republican hold on Congress, enabling committee investigations into Trump's relationships with figures like Elon Musk and potential impeachment proceedings. However, Democrats face challenges from economic instability and internal party divisions as the 2028 presidential election cycle begins.
