> Democrats won majorities in both chambers of Congress in the November 3 midterms and captured governorships in states including Texas, but Trump retains presidential powers. The party has not agreed on how to use its new clout. Options discussed include investigations, impeachment, and seeking Republican support to override a presidential veto; Democrats may also press for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s removal.
