Democrats Won BOTH Chambers — What Actually Changes Now?

Fifty-five seats. Both chambers. One seat still undecided. In one election, Democrats took control of the entire United States Congress — the House and the Senate together. But with a president who can veto everything they pass, what can this new majority actually do? And what can it not do? In this video, World Trend Wire explains what flipped — 55 Senate seats, 254 House seats called, 10 of 11 battlegrounds — the most shocking result of the whole election in Mississippi, where Scott Colom became the state's first Black senator since 1874; what a Democratic majority can actually do from January 3rd — the agenda, the committees and subpoenas, and the power of the purse; what it cannot do — override a veto, beat the 60-vote filibuster, or touch the courts; the first real test on December 11th, when government funding runs out; and the one seat still undecided in Alaska.
