Democrats achieved significant success in the American congressional elections and will gain control of both chambers of Congress from next year. The result represents a serious political defeat for President Donald Trump and creates conditions for sharp conflict between the White House and the new Democratic majority. Independent ↗
Democrats have signaled they want to limit Trump's ability to push through his policies. However, the president still retains veto power, so a complete reversal in the direction of the United States is not expected. The new balance of power could lead to a long-term deadlock in decision-making in Washington. Der Standard ↗
The election result also opened up the question of the future direction of the Democratic Party. Within the party, the dispute between the left wing and centrists is deepening again. While more progressive candidates gained strength in traditionally Democratic districts, moderate candidates were particularly successful in closely contested districts. El Mundo ↗
According to political analyses, several factors contributed to the election result, including dissatisfaction with Trump, inflation, his weaker support among young and Hispanic voters, and the unpopular war in Iran. Republicans therefore face a debate about the president's role and the causes of the election defeat. El Mundo ↗
Democrats now face the task of turning their election success into a shared political program. However, differing positions within the party could complicate the passage of legislation after the new Congress is seated in January. BBC News ↗
