What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

Democrats gained control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the November 3 midterm elections. This outcome ended two years of unified Republican control in Washington. The new Democratic Congress will acquire committee control, oversight powers, and greater influence over appropriations and nominations. President Donald Trump accepted the results but stated he would veto legislation he deemed unreasonable.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The shift in legislative power could constrain Donald Trump's policy agenda over the remaining two years of his presidency. European leaders noted that the change could have possible implications for trade, climate policy, and the transatlantic alliance. The Democratic Congress will have greater influence over appropriations and nominations.
