Democrats gained control of both chambers of the United States Congress after Tuesday's elections. President Donald Trump is thus entering the last two years of his term in a significantly more complicated political situation. SITA ↗
The Democratic Party secured at least 218 seats needed for a majority in the House of Representatives. The results also showed significant Republican losses even in areas that had traditionally supported Trump. According to post-election analyses, Democrats succeeded in at least five states where the president won by more than ten percentage points two years ago. Index.hu ↗
One of the most striking results was Gina Hinojosa's victory in Texas. The Democrat will become governor of a state that is among the traditional Republican strongholds. Her success is among the biggest surprises of election night and fits into the broader trend of Democratic victories in Republican states. El Pais ↗
According to post-election polls, voters reacted mainly to dissatisfaction with Trump's policies, inflation, the war with Iran, and raids by the immigration agency ICE. The results also brought other historic firsts, including the victory of Keisha Lance Bottoms, who is set to become the first Black governor of Georgia. Tagesspiegel ↗
However, Democrats will not have completely free rein. The president retains significant constitutional powers and can use his veto. A tougher political conflict between the White House and Congress is therefore expected for the rest of Trump's term. SITA ↗
