Democrats win House, setting up clash with Trump

oglobo.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Democrats have won control of the House of Representatives, according to CNN projections, potentially enabling them to challenge President Donald Trump's agenda in the final years of his second term. The projected majority would allow Democrats to lead committees, launch investigations into alleged corruption, demand documents and testimony, and potentially pursue a third impeachment of Trump. They also plan to reverse Medicaid cuts and end Trump's tariffs. Democrats face limits, as Senate control remains uncertain and Trump retains veto power. A successful impeachment conviction requires a two-thirds Senate majority, which is considered unlikely. The party also plans probes into the Pentagon and the Epstein case.
