Decision Desk HQ (per The Hill) projected on Tuesday that Democrats have won
control of the U.S. House, returning to the majority after four years in the
minority and ushering in a divided government. The shift will immediately
constrain the White House legislative agenda and set up clashes between the
House and White House on immigration enforcement, government spending, Trump’s
global tariff policy and potential action on Iran. Democrats have pledged broad
investigations into Trump and his inner circle, focusing on the Epstein scandal,
violence tied to mass deportation operations and the finances of Trump and his
family, increasing oversight and political risk heading into next year.
