Trump Vows Comeback After Republicans Lose Congress
President Donald Trump vowed a political comeback Sunday after his Republican Party lost control of both houses of Congress in midterm elections, a decisive repudiation of his presidency that leaves him weakened entering his final two years in office. The loss opens the door for Democrat-controlled committees to launch investigations into Trump, his family, and senior administration officials, prompting Trump to order the Justice Department to examine impeachment threats he likened to "extortion." He also appointed hardline advisor Stephen Miller as chief of staff, signaling a combative response. Democrats pledged to hold the administration accountable, while Attorney General Todd Blanche vowed to defend Trump officials. Likely investigation subjects include Trump family business dealings, cryptocurrency ventures, Elon Musk contracts, and immigration enforcement. Trump was impeached twice during his first presidency but acquitted both times.
