Analysis: The Democratic Party secured both the House and the Senate, putting pressure on Trump's governance in his last two years
David Chalian, the head and political director of CNN's Washington bureau, interprets that there has been a significant change in the power structure in the United States. The Democratic Party has taken control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the last two years of Trump's term will be completely different from the first two years. Voters have sent a strong rejection of Trump in the elections, with presidential approval ratings underwater even in key Senate states and deep red states.
The Democratic Party has secured seats in Texas, Ohio, Iowa, South Carolina, and other states, where Trump won by double digits just two years ago and had victories in all three of his presidential campaigns. Factors contributing to this shift include the alienation of independent voters, the return of Latino and young voters to the Democratic Party, Trump's failed economic governance, and public concerns about the cost of living, all of which have become important reasons for the Republican Party's midterm election losses.
