Scaffolding is seen near the construction site of the East Wing ballroom, after US President Donald Trump delivered remarks and greeted workers at the site, at the White House in Washington, DC, on November 4, 2026. Democrats seized control of the US Congress on November 3, capturing the Senate and House of Representatives. The Democratic landslide will give the opposition power to block legislation, launch broad investigations into Trump's administration and thwart his judicial and senior government appointments.
