The next two years could be a veritable nightmare for Trump. After Democrats gaining control of both the House of Representatives and Senate, Trump won't be able to pass major legislation. Any new law requires approval from both chambers, and with Democrats now controlling both, any rogue legislation will be effectively checked. He also cannot elect judges as the Democratic Senate majority will hold the power to reject his nominees. Trump also can't control the budget as the Congress is now packed with Democrats. Trump can't pass it without negotiating and making compromises with the opposition. The funding for the unpopular war in Iran shall also be checked as the Democrats are most likely to use the annual defence budget to limit military spending.
Additionally, Trump and Vice President JD Vance now face the risk of impeachment, as well as major investigations into their investments and other activities. Maybe the world can breathe a little easier with the POTUS taking a beating at the hustings.
