Reuters: Midterms upended Congress but Trump still commands foreign policy
- On Tuesday, Democrats won control of the U.S. House and Senate, securing 54 Senate seats and at least 228 House seats, according to The Associated Press.
- President Donald Trump acknowledged the results in late-night interviews, telling Fox News and CBS News, "My message is, congratulations to the Democrats, and I look forward to working with you for the good of our country."
- Senior Democrats warned the administration to "lawyer up," while incoming House Oversight Committee Chairman Robert Garcia issued a two-word statement signaling aggressive oversight ahead.
- Trump enters a "lame duck" presidency with diminished political capital, yet retains veto power requiring a two-thirds majority in both chambers to overturn, enabling him to block Democratic legislation.
- With his legislative agenda constrained, Trump may shift focus to foreign policy while Republicans eye potential 2028 successors, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as the party envisions a future without him.
