Congressional Elections: What Can Happen to Trump if Republicans Lose
During Trump's second term, parliament has so far largely failed as a control body. If the Democrats win one or both chambers in the midterm elections, this could change. Some scenarios.
US President Donald Trump is campaigning extensively across the country ahead of the midterm elections on November 6. Despite his low popularity ratings, Trump believes he can mobilize Republican voters like no one else. If his party loses one or both houses of Congress, he faces significant challenges, including investigations into his policies and business dealings.
The Democrats are likely to gain seats in the House of Representatives, which could lead to probes into Trump's Iran war, treatment of migrants, and family business activities, and also block Republican initiatives. A Democratic win in the Senate would give them control over Trump's appointments, including ministers, judges, and ambassadors.
