What Democrats Can and Cannot Do with Their New Power After Taking Congress

After securing control of both chambers of Congress in the recent elections, Democrats now hold significant legislative authority—but President Trump retains a veto power that limits their ability to pass major reforms.

The shift marks a pivotal moment for U.S. governance, yet challenges remain over enforcement, internal party cohesion, and bipartisan compromise.
