After sweeping midterm wins, here's what Democrats hope to get done in the majority

For more than a year, Democrats hammered one message at every opportunity: put Democrats in charge, and Congress will take action to lower costs and stamp out corruption.

Democrats will soon have that chance when they take control of the House and the Senate after a rout of Republicans at the ballot box.

Now Democrats have to unite a sometimes fractious caucus around a game plan for fulfilling that central campaign promise.

Democrats say that in the first hundred hours, they want to restore enhanced Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies and reverse Medicaid cuts Republicans passed last year in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that are about to take effect.

They also want to reassert Congress' authority over tariffs and try to force an end to the Iran war. These are priorities on which Democrats have near-total agreement.
