What can Democrats actually do now they have won Congress?

Democrats have retaken control of both the House and Senate following the 2026 midterms, representing a massive rebuke of Donald Trump and his administration. This blue wave includes Hakeem Jeffries becoming the first Black House speaker and the flipping of seven GOP Senate seats. With majorities in both chambers, Democrats now possess the congressional power to potentially impeach Trump or his Cabinet, significantly altering the final two years of the presidency compared to the first half.
