Riding a tide of voter angst, Democrats swept into power in Congress, with outrage over the cost of living and the war in Iran leading to a thundering rebuke of President Donald Trump and his party just two years after his dominant White House comeback.

On this special edition of the show, we recap the big night for Democrats with full team coverage from our team of Bloomberg journalists, including Courtney Subramanian, Julie Fine, and Skylar Woodhouse.
Then, Joe and Kailey speak with:
Rick Davis, Partner at Stonecourt Capital and Bloomberg Politics Contributor & Jeanne Sheehan Zaino, Democracy Visiting Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Ash Center and Bloomberg Politics Contributor
Rep. Joe Morelle
Joe Lavorgna, Chief Economist at SMBC Nikko Securities

Democrats won control of both chambers of the US Congress in a midterm election landslide that amounted to a rejection of President Donald Trump following widespread voter discontent with the economy and the war in Iran.

Across the country, Democrats scored victories in GOP strongholds, flipping at least seven Senate seats and winning House races in districts Republicans easily carried in 2024. Several news organizations projected that Democrats would win the House, while Decision Desk HQ projected they took the Senate.

For reaction and analysis, hosts David Gura and Kailey Leinz speak with Adam Hodge, Managing Director at Bully Pulpit International and Bloomberg Contributor, Patrick McHenry, Former Republican Congressman from North Carolina, former House Financial Services Committee Chairman, Bloomberg Contributor and Ron Brownstein, Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering politics and policy.

A final look at the market and sector impacts if the Democrats take one, if not both, chambers of Congress in the US midterms -- along with President Donald Trump's response -- led the Nov. 2 Bloomberg Intelligence Washington Policy Pulse. If Democrats do win at least the House, they will launch investigations into companies and BI's new Congressional investigation tracker suggests over 200 companies, including those in crypto, defense and technology could be at risk. We also discussed how Trump will likely move towards geopolitical events and tariffs, exposing the energy and retail sectors to volatility over the next few quarters.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration
