SCENARIOS | The midterm election outcomes that could shape Trump’s final two years
What happened
Americans vote Tuesday in midterm elections that will decide which party controls Congress for the last two years of Donald Trump's term, according to TimesLIVE.
Even with a win in one or both chambers, Democrats could probe the administration through hearings and subpoenas, but Trump keeps his veto and could govern through executive orders.
Former national security adviser John Bolton told DW that a Democratic majority would give the party a say over Iran war funding, but a presidential veto would need a two-thirds vote to override.
“Even if Democrats hold a majority in both houses, their influence will be limited to the legislative and political tools of Congress”
