Democrats Retake House, Vow to Reverse Medicaid Cuts

Democrats will regain control of the House in the new Congress, CBS News projects, ending four years of Republican majority and setting up oversight clashes with the Trump administration. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, in line to become speaker, said the Democratic agenda will prioritize affordability, including reversing Medicaid cuts enacted under Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act and extending expired Affordable Care Act premium tax credits. Democrats also flipped the Senate. The new majority takes effect when the new Congress convenes in January, giving Democrats subpoena power and control over federal spending to pursue their priorities.
