Tariffs to Iran war: Can Democrats reverse Trump policy with midterms win?
Democrats can block Trump’s legislative agenda and launch investigations, but they have no two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto.
AI Summary
Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in the November 4 midterm elections, ending the Republican Party’s majority. The victory allows them to block President Trump’s legislative agenda and launch investigations. However, they lack a two‑thirds majority in either chamber, so they cannot override a presidential veto. The shift marks a significant change in congressional power following a decisive defeat for Trump’s party.
