The Democratic Party currently has the upper hand in the U.S. Congress.
When Trump took office as U.S. president for a second term in 2024, the Republican Party held the majority in Congress.
Confused between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party? The Republican Party is Trump’s party. The Democratic Party is the opposition to his party.
U.S. Congress
The U.S. Congress has two chambers: the lower house and the upper house.
The lower house is the House of Representatives. It has a total of 435 seats. To win a majority, a party must secure 218 seats.

The upper house is the Senate. It has a total of 100 seats. A majority requires 51 seats. The Democratic Party is leading in both the upper house and the lower house. In the vote count, the Democratic Party is ahead in the upper house, crossing the 51-seat mark.
What is the dissatisfaction with Trump?
Trump is the one who came to power with the slogan “Make America Great Again.” He has been repeatedly saying that he is doing everything for America.
So why did Trump’s party suffer this setback? These election results show the dissatisfaction with him. Americans are happy with deporting people who have entered the country illegally.
But it is the issue of reciprocal tariffs and the Iran war that has made Americans uneasy. Trump imposed tariffs on other countries, saying they were charging the United States too much.
When tariffs were imposed on other countries, that burden also fell on the shoulders of the American people.

Next, Iran poses no direct threat to the United States. But Trump started a war against Iran in support of Israel.
As a result, just as oil prices have risen in countries around the world, the United States is no exception. Moreover, the U.S. stockpile of weapons has also declined significantly. The American people did not like this.
The Iran war has increased inflation, and the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve, has raised interest rates. This too has displeased the American people.
Can Trump be stopped?
As mentioned earlier, until now, whatever bill or law was passed in Parliament had been approved by a majority. Now, a check has been put on that.
Even if Trump brings in any law, Congress can vote against it. Still, even if Congress opposes the bill, the president (Trump) can veto it.
Trump has hinted at this indirectly on his Truth social media page itself. The Democratic Party is against the war with Iran.
After this election, the Democratic Party will certainly try to bring a resolution against it.
We will have to see whether Trump will veto it or accept it.
