Democrats win Texas Senate seat, reshaping US political landscape

dn.pt (Portuguese) —

Democrats secured a Senate seat in Texas for the first time since 1988, signaling a major political shift that limits President Trump's power with a Democratic majority in Congress. The victory ends a period of Republican dominance and raises expectations for investigations into Trump's presidency, including alleged corruption and a reported $2.7 billion increase in his personal fortune during his term. The Democratic agenda may include impeachment proceedings, though success requires a two-thirds Senate majority. Foreign policy questions loom over Ukraine and Iran, with broader implications for US alliances and global economic stability.
