New congress

If the 2026 elections follow the historical path the party not in the White House will gain seats so what changes will the democrats bring to the table. They will try to end the 47% tariff on Chinese imports and if successful will make US produced products more expensive and consumers will get a price break by purchasing lower cost imported goods. This was the case before the tariffs were introduced. They will try to start new benefit programs beginning with subsidies for healthcare cost. Other plans will be to send out checks to cover the cost of food and housing. They will try to cancel student loan debt. Some will include plans for guaranteed monthly income checks and reverse recent cuts to SNAP. There will be increased subsidies to cover the rising cost of healthcare. All of these things will help people but will cause inflation. They will try to increase taxes to cover these cost but that requires congressional approval of two thirds vote in both houses to overturn a presidential veto. To get these things accomplished means waiting until they have both the congress and the White House. Thus, most of the time the new congress will be investigating the president. Several impeachments have already been suggested.
