What Trump’s next two years with a Democratic Congress could look like

Let's get more on what's next with our chief Washington correspondent, John Karl, our chief global affairs anchor, Martha Raddatz. John, let me begin with you, I think, back to George W. Bush in the midterms, said we took a thumping. Barack Obama said- were lacking. lacking. We're not gonna hear that from President Trump, but he is gonna be facing challenges like he's never faced before. Oh, there's no doubt. Look, this election was in large part a repudiation of Donald Trump and of a Congress that had done nothing to hold him accountable. As the votes were coming in on election day, Chuck Schumer told me the Democrats will fight Trump tooth and nail. In fact, you're gonna see this happening even before the new Congress is sworn in. There is already an impeachment resolution of Pete Hegseth that was filed by a Republican, by Thomas Massie. I expect you're gonna see action on that, perhaps not impeachment, but action on that immediately. And look, every one of these committees in Congress, House and Senate, will now be controlled by a Democrat. Some of whom see as one of their primary jobs is to holding this administration accountable. Now that said, they didn't get elected to impeach Trump. They didn't get elected to hold hearings, investigative hearings. They will be under pressure to try to get something done. And no fewer than three incoming senators that I spoke to during this campaign from red states, Talerico in Texas. Adam Hamilton in Kansas and Josh Turick in Iowa told me that they would and believe they could work with Donald Trump if elected to the Senate. We heard over and over from voters that affordability was a major factor. So was the war in Iran. And so what do these election results mean for U.S. foreign policy, Martha, going forward? Well, I think not only it was affordability and the war, but they connected those two. And that's why they knew they were paying, and still are, paying higher prices for gas, diesel, groceries, you name it. So I think going forward, right now we have 50,000 troops. In the Middle East, trying to get ships through the Strait of Hormuz, they're starting to get through, but you cannot maintain that. So what he does to end the war, which as we know, he said a couple of times it's already over and we won, is the big question going forward. He already has options on the table if he wants to renew larger strikes, and there's certainly been talk about that, whether he will do that now or not. Perhaps that's one way to say victory. They can't get a nuclear weapon now if they start bombing the nuclear facilities again. Whatever, he knows that that is a huge issue and he's already got this huge repudiation of him in the votes. So what does he do about the war? Corruption, another big theme for the Democrats. Incoming House chairman last night said his message to White House staffers, allies of President Trump, others involved in perceived corruption, lawyer up. Yeah, I mean, they've already started doing that even before the votes were counted. But look, Trump retains tremendous power even without control of Congress, obviously immunity himself from the Supreme Court. And he has those executive powers that he has pushed the limits of and I expect he will do even more so now without control of Congress. And he's used the Justice Department to go after his political enemies. I expect you will see that happening as well. But again, the voters sent A very loud message. The question is, will that message be heard? Trump also fancies himself a dealmaker. I don't think that's what you're gonna see initially, but the question is, can he deal with the Democratic Congress to get anything done that voters demanded in this election? We shall see. Thank you both very much.
