Trump Faces Divided Government After Democratic Sweep

President Donald Trump faces a divided government after Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, prompting him to signal willingness to work with the opposition. The defeat marks a major repudiation of his presidency. Trump, who was a registered Democrat from 2001 to 2009 and once said he identified more as a Democrat, has already spoken with Democratic leaders and offered congratulations, while vowing to use his veto power if needed. He has a history of bipartisan deals, including a 2017 debt-ceiling agreement with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Democrats plan aggressive oversight, including investigations into Trump's business dealings and potential impeachment, though removal faces high hurdles. Trump, barred from a third term and facing no primary, may seek legislative wins with Democrats to secure his legacy, as his signature policies face legal and political challenges.
