A wave of voter anger propelled Democrats to sweep into power in Congress. Outrage over the cost of living and the war in Iran delivered a resounding rebuke to President Donald Trump and his party, just two years after his dominant return to the White House.
Democrats won both the Senate and the House in a nationwide rebuke of President Donald Trump, flipping seats long held by Republicans and securing a series of historic firsts. Their gains are expected to constrain Trump during the final two years of his term and give Democrats power to block legislation, investigate his administration and challenge appointments. Anger over living costs, tariffs and fuel-price increases linked to Trump’s confrontation with Iran helped drive the result.
Democrats took control of both chambers of the US Congress on Tuesday, in what the report describes as a nationwide rejection of Donald Trump.
