'2026 midterms put the brakes on unbridled Trumpism but does not bring it to a halt'

The midterm elections on November 3 marked a shift in American politics, ending Donald Trump's dominance and restoring checks and balances in government. Congressional oversight, which had diminished under Trump's presidency, is expected to return with a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate. This change aims to prevent authoritarianism and ensure that presidential power is checked by legislative bodies. The new Congress, convening on January 3, 2027, is anticipated to foster negotiation and bipartisanship, aligning with the vision of the Founding Fathers for American democracy.
