US Midterms: Trump's Lame-Duck Era Begins as Democrats Take Congress

leggo.it (Italian) —

Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in the US midterm elections, ending Republicans' unified control of government and weakening President Donald Trump's legislative power. Trump retains executive authority, including foreign policy and veto power, but will face greater difficulty passing laws and confirming appointments. The Democratic House can launch investigations and potentially pursue impeachment, though removal remains unlikely. The new Congress may pressure Trump on issues like Ukraine and Iran policy. The election also signals a shift toward the 2028 presidential race, with Democratic figures like Jon Ossoff emerging as potential candidates.
