While those are traditionally core priorities of the party, climate was not a central topic in this election cycle. Democrats can begin investigations and hold hearings into climate poli

Voters have sent a strong election-year message to the new Democratic congressional majority and President Donald Trump: Repair the damage inflation has done to the economy. Trump, who campaigned on the idea that a Democratic victory in the midterms would trigger a 1929-style economic depression, has maintained that the economy is booming.
