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. But passing legislation will not be easy: ordinary bills in the Senate require 60 votes, and overriding a presidential veto requires the support of two-thirds of the members of both chambers.
