Election results

According to the outlet, the Democratic opposition won control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This gives Democrats the opportunity to advance legislative initiatives, launch investigations into the Trump administration, and obstruct his personnel appointments.

The article notes that the voting results reflected voters’ dissatisfaction with the cost of living, tariffs, and the US war with Iran, which, according to the outlet’s assessment, contributed to rising prices. At the same time, Trump threatened to use his veto power, which could limit Democrats’ options even with control of both chambers of Congress.
