Markets and Washington treat the Democratic sweep as a shift to divided government rather than a full policy mandate, with Trump remaining in the White House and Democrats controlling both chambers. The most likely result is tighter oversight, fewer unilateral fiscal moves, and a reduced chance of new deficit-financed Republican tax or tariff packages.
