The Democratic takeover follows historic gains in Republican strongholds, with voters citing frustration over living costs and the administration’s handling of the war with Iran. The new congressional majority will take office in January and control which bills and investigations advance, potentially forcing major clashes with the Trump administration. The outcome also raises uncertainty for US support for Israel, Ukraine policy, sanctions, and the future direction of the Iran conflict.
