The Democratic Party swept both chambers of Congress by surprisingly strong margins in the midterms. What does this mean for President Donald Trump, the rest of his second term and the upcoming 2028 presidential campaign?
For Trump, his administration and his family, the answer is likely a steady stream of scrutiny and subpoenas. The rest of his term may witness legislative gridlock, though he has expressed a willingness to work with Democrats. His vice president, eyeing a presidential run, is already distancing himself from his boss.
But few political observers believe the 80-year-old president will be chastened by his party’s defeat, and warn that his war on Iran, as well as his ongoing challenges to the separation of powers and court orders, may continue.
