A shift in congressional power could reshape President Donald Trump’s final two years by making it harder to pass legislation and opening the way for congressional investigations, Al Jazeera reported Friday.

Trump will not be on the November ballot. Al Jazeera’s Oct. 23 video explainer, presented by Noor Wazwaz, examined what might follow if the party balance in Congress changes. The video outlined two potential consequences of a shift in party control: stalled bills and increased congressional scrutiny.

Al Jazeera framed these as possible effects of a shift in congressional control; the explainer did not predict which party would prevail. The midterms are scheduled for November.
