Democrats win House, Trump faces lame-duck term with combative strategy

economictimes.indiatimes.com —

Democrats won control of the House of Representatives in the US midterm elections, placing President Donald Trump in a politically weakened "lame duck" position for the remainder of his term. Trump has signaled a combative response, threatening to veto legislation and direct the Department of Justice to investigate Democratic lawmakers who may launch probes against him. Analysts expect him to remain aggressive rather than retreat. Despite the setback, Trump retains significant power in foreign policy and trade, and he is expected to stay in the public spotlight to counter potential successors for the 2028 election.
