DNC Chair Says Democrats Must Deliver on Promises After Midterm Wins
Martin said Democrats must turn their victories into lower costs and stronger oversight as they gain control of Congress.
- Democrats secured control of Congress on Tuesday, flipping 29 House seats and seven in the Senate to reach 237 and 54 seats respectively, marking a sweeping rejection of President Donald Trump's agenda.
- Voters turned to Democrats out of frustration over the economy, high prices, and the war in Iran, blaming Trump for rising costs and sweeping tariffs that remained on imports as his conflict entered its ninth month.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Senate Democrats will work to "clean up" corruption and end the war in Iran, while reversing sweeping Medicaid cuts that axe roughly $1 trillion and restoring expired Affordable Care Act tax credits.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said "the American people have chosen House Democrats because they want to see a dramatic change in direction, and that's exactly what House Democrats will deliver beginning on Day One."
- Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin emphasized building durable power to help working people, stating the party is "not interested in just winning the 28 cycle" as it looks toward lasting success.
