Democrats Win Congress and Reshuffle Leadership
Democratic election victories in the Senate and House will reshuffle congressional leadership as the new term approaches. Lawmakers prepare to focus on legislative priorities and oversight under a divided government.
Sweeping Democratic victories across the United States Senate and House of Representatives will reshuffle congressional leadership when lawmakers are sworn in on January 3. The shift follows an election that divided government control between a newly empowered Democratic majority and Republican President Donald Trump. Parties in both chambers will select leadership teams after returning to Washington, DC, next week.
