Here&#8217;s a look at what&#8217;s at stake for his presidency.<\/p>\n<p> What happens if Democrats win the House?<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"2\">The final two years of Trump&#8217;s second term will be dictated in large part by who controls Congress following these midterm elections. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">If Democrats win control of the House, they will be in the driver&#8217;s seat on legislation in Congress. Democrats would also be able to launch investigations and subpoena Trump administration officials to testify.<\/p>\n<p>What happens if Democrats win the Senate?<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">If Democrats win control of the Senate, they can do things like block the president&#8217;s judicial and administration nominees.<\/p>\n<p>What happens if Democrats win both?<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\"> If Democrats win control of both chambers of Congress, that scenario could bring the most gridlock to Washington. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">Trump has already said he will be &#8220;Mr. Veto&#8221; if Democrats win, meaning he will put an end to any legislation passed in Congress. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"10\">It is unlikely the Democratic Party would have enough votes in Congress to overturn a veto. Trump says the goal at that point would be to make Democrats come to him to make a deal.<\/p>\n<p>What happens if Republicans win both?<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"12\">If Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate, President Trump has a much clearer path to advance his agenda and priorities.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Control of Congress is on the line in the midterms, and it could shape the final two years&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":446675,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[173756,209,211,210,5142,173758,8131,409,2811,55152,3858,173755,26708,128,22437,44361,173757,173760,18383,4219,9103,4214,72080,2684,173759,173754,6413],"class_list":["post-446674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cape-coral","tag-administration-nominees","tag-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral-headlines","tag-cape-coral-news","tag-congress","tag-control-of-congress","tag-democrats","tag-donald-trump","tag-election","tag-house-of-representatives","tag-investigations","tag-judicial-nominees","tag-ldnd","tag-legislation","tag-midterm","tag-midterm-elections","tag-mr-veto","tag-presidential-agenda","tag-republican-candidates","tag-republicans","tag-second-term","tag-senate","tag-subpoena","tag-trump","tag-trump-agenda","tag-trump-presidency","tag-washington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/446675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
