Trump’s Loss of Congress Means?

A Democratic victory in securing control of both houses of Congress would mean tougher oversight and more investigations of the Donald Trump administration, as well as a greater ability to block some of its priorities and revisit issues such as taxes, tariffs, spending, and energy.

The confrontation between the White House and Congress is expected to heighten uncertainty for markets and investors.
