Detailed Factual Report
Washington — Democrats will capture enough House seats to retake control of the chamber early next year, CBS News projects, effectively halting President Trump's legislative agenda and teeing up a wave of investigations into his administration and business ventures during his final two years in the White House.
Economic discontent over the cost of living helped Democrats flip control of the House after four years of a razor-thin Republican majority that ceded large parts of its legislative authority to the Trump administration.
The total extent of Democrats' majority is unclear as votes in several competitive races continue to be counted.
House Democrats are planning aggressive investigations when they secure subpoena power in the new Congress in January. They are expected to probe the president and his family's business dealings, the administration's immigration enforcement, the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, Mr. Trump's pardons and the rushed construction projects throughout the nation's capital.
