Democrats have just taken both chambers of Congress, and the damage reaches deep into territory Republicans thought was safe. Texas now has its first Democratic governor in more than three decades, after James Talerico beat Ken Paxton for the Senate seat and Gina Hinojosa flipped the governorship. Donald Trump says he'll work with Democrats, but he's also calling himself a potential "king of vetoes." Washington just got a lot more complicated.
Dr Kathryn Robison of the United States Studies Centre unpacks what the result does and doesn't change: why Trump keeps sweeping foreign policy powers even as his domestic agenda stalls, whether Texas is now a genuine 2028 battleground, and what the Hispanic vote's swing says about where American politics is heading. She also traces the cracks opening up around JD Vance and the MAGA movement's future inside the GOP. Along the way: what the night signals for the US relationship with Israel, and why neither party may want impeachment anywhere near the agenda.
