Donald Trump said Democrats would be politically “destroyed” if they launched impeachment proceedings after taking control of the US Congress. The Republican president, who disputes any justification for such proceedings, was speaking the day after his party suffered heavy losses in the midterm elections, according to Vanguard.
Democrats won control of both chambers of the US Congress in the 3 November 2026 midterm elections, according to L’essentiel, Bénin Web TV, Vanguard and Dakaractu. They won at least six Republican Senate seats, including in Texas and South Carolina, and secured a majority in the House, leaving Donald Trump facing an opposition capable of intensifying investigations into his administration. Dakaractu notably reports a projection of up to 55 Democratic Senate seats and details Elon Musk’s financial support for the defeated Republican candidate in Texas.
