- A major victory for Democrats in the U.S. midterm elections with results described as decisive.
- Donald Trump loses his majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives to the opposition.
- Washington enters an era of mandatory political cohabitation and power struggles starting next January.
The final results of the midterm elections in the United States delivered a decisive and indisputable verdict, with Democrats taking center stage after securing a major victory that shifted the balance of power in Washington.
A Struggle for Powers and a New Era of Cohabitation
These results deprived Donald Trump of the majority he had enjoyed in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, dealing a significant political blow to his administration against political opponents.
Starting next January, the U.S. president will have to deal and negotiate with a Congress controlled by the Democratic opposition, plunging the country into a dynamic akin to forced "political cohabitation" that will compel a recalibration of governance and decision-making in the upcoming period.
