Washington Aftershocks
The midterm congressional elections, which included all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats, produced an overwhelming Democratic majority that exceeded expectations, despite polls showing no more than 30% support for the president and the Republican Party. The writer believes the result foreshadows a clash between the White House and Congress that could hinder the passage of legislation. The presidential veto remains a check on the Democratic majority’s ability to impose its agenda, however, and the writer rules out the dispute escalating into violence. The writer identifies Donald Trump as the biggest loser, recalling his rejection of the 2020 election results, and concludes that the latest elections demonstrated democracy’s and the U.S. Constitution’s ability to protect the peaceful transfer of power—even as difficult days lie ahead for the United States and the world.
