Democrats Gain Control in 2026 US Midterms, Impacting Trump Policies and India Relations
The 2026 US midterm elections resulted in significant Democratic gains, likely shifting control of Congress and increasing oversight of President Donald Trump's policies. While Trump retains executive powers, including veto authority, Democrats could influence trade, tariffs, immigration, and foreign policy, affecting US-India relations and global markets. The elections also impact issues like the Iran conflict, oil prices, AI investment, and H-1B visa policies. Market reactions reflect uncertainty, with potential for political gridlock and legislative scrutiny ahead.
