A historic shift in US politics has unfolded as a Republican president faces the rare loss of control over both chambers of Congress for the first time in two decades. The outcome marks a significant realignment in legislative power, with Democrats now holding majorities in both the House and Senate. This turn of events could reshape policy priorities and intensify partisan tensions ahead of key legislative battles. The last time a president from either major party lost both houses simultaneously was in 2006.
This is the first time in 20 years that a Republican president has lost both houses of US Congress.
