What Democrats can and can't do with their new power after taking Congress

Democrats can vote legislation through. But Trump still has veto power.

Reuters

What the coverage shows

Across the coverage, outlets converge on Democrats winning control of Congress and on Trump retaining veto power as the main constraint on what they can do. BBC News is the most explicit about the governing limits, while Reuters and PBS NewsHour stress the prospect of both clashes and possible deals. Several outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, NYT and The Guardian US, frame the shift as a check on Trump, and The Hill and Al Jazeera are the only ones to bring in Trump or Israel-focused reactions in their extracts.
