Democrats take Congress: what their new power allows

Original: Democrats took back Congress. Here's what they can and can't do with that power

Democrats have won back control of Congress, giving the party a foothold in Washington despite Republicans retaining the presidency. Analysts are laying out what a Democratic majority can realistically achieve, including launching oversight investigations, blocking Republican legislation and confirming judicial nominees, while noting clear limits: without the Senate and the White House, they cannot unilaterally pass major legislation or override presidential vetoes.

Why now: The party has just regained congressional power, prompting widespread debate about what it can actually accomplish with it.
