What Trump can still do after the Democrats' midterm win

Democrats have won control of the House of Representatives and may also take the Senate, significantly reducing President Donald Trump's power to pass new legislation and control government spending without opposition approval. With Democratic majorities, the House can block funding for Trump's projects, as tax laws originate there and spending requires both chambers' approval. Trump must now negotiate with Democrats on the federal budget, risking a government shutdown if no deal is reached, though already-approved funds cannot be cut. A Democratic Senate could reject Trump's nominees for cabinet posts, federal courts, and the Supreme Court. Trump retains veto power, making Democratic legislation unlikely, and can still issue executive orders, though courts can block unlawful ones. He remains commander-in-chief and can act on trade and immigration within existing legal limits.
