Voters delivered a sweeping rebuke of President Trump and his party in the midterms, handing Democrats major victories and dramatically reshaping the balance of power in Washington. Trump now enters a lame duck phase of his second term, promising both to use his veto power, and also to work across the aisle as he faces the largest Democratic majorities in decades.
