CBS News Battleground Tracker poll: Democrats hold edge in bid for House control

Price concerns boost Democrats, and MAGA Republicans are motivated. Both parties are seen negatively, according to CBS News' latest polling.

Democrats are planning to ramp up investigations into the Trump family, the White House ballroom project, and the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files if they win control of the House of Representatives in November. According to conversations with over a dozen Democratic lawmakers and aides, President Donald Trump's war with Iran, his White House ballroom project, his family's business dealings, and the administration's handling of the Epstein files will be among the top targets of investigations.

Democrats don't intend to launch an impeachment process right away, but rather use lawsuits to compel the testimony and documents they seek, as they would have standing to do so in the majority. Democrats plan to use every tool in their toolbox and have more authority in the majority to get the evidence they need. They are building up their legal team and preparing to launch aggressive hiring pushes to be ready for the upcoming investigations.
