Democrats gain Senate control to challenge Trump health care plans
Democratic voters secured a majority in the US Senate on Tuesday night, ending Republican control and giving the party new legislative tools.
Senate results shift power balance
Democrats won at least 51 seats in the chamber as votes were counted. This outcome breaks the previous Republican trifecta that dominated Washington politics. The final seat count may still change while remaining ballots are processed.
New oversight tools emerge
The party now holds its first major opportunity to rein in the administration's agenda. Officials can create new paths for oversight over health reforms proposed by the Trump team. Legislation could potentially roll back specific changes made by the current government.
