Republicans suffered a sweeping loss in Tuesday’s elections, handing Democrats new leverage over President Trump’s agenda. The defeat is set to complicate Trump’s tariff strategy, his handling of the Iran conflict and a slate of Washington-area construction projects, all of which now face heightened scrutiny from newly empowered Democrats. The shift matters because it narrows Trump’s room to maneuver on trade and foreign policy while giving opponents a platform to challenge his spending priorities.
