Democrats expected to win big but divided on how to handle Trump post-election

The 2026 midterm elections are drawing to a close with forecasts predicting Democrats have an 82 percent chance of taking the House and a 62 percent chance of winning the Senate, according to The Hill.

President Trump highlighted a drop in oil prices as part of his final pitch to voters on Monday, with Brent crude falling from $112 to $104 and U.S. WTI crude dropping to about $96 per barrel, The Hill reported.

Despite anticipated Democratic gains, internal disagreements are emerging within the party about how to address President Trump after the election, particularly regarding whether to pursue another impeachment for alleged abuses of power and corruption.

Democratic lawmakers and strategists are split, with senators and House leaders generally cautious about pushing an impeachment, according to The Hill.

The political landscape remains tense as the election results come in and parties prepare for the next steps, with one outlet describing the Trump era as effectively ended due to political suicide.
