Democrats are preparing an agenda focused on lowering household costs, expanding housing and health-care access, protecting Social Security and addressing corruption after a decisive midterm setback for Republicans. Senator Elizabeth Warren, expected to become Senate Banking Committee chair, said Democrats could work with President Trump on a 10% credit-card interest-rate cap, housing legislation and other measures, while also pursuing investigations into companies and executives accused of cheating consumers or investors. She said Democrats lack a veto-proof majority but could still advance measures with or without White House support. Representative French Hill, the Republican chairman of the Financial Services Committee, said inflation fell from 9% to 3% after reaching 20% during the Biden administration but remains a major concern. He backed possible immigration reform alongside border security and said he was undecided on whether Secretary Pete Hegseth committed an impeachable offense, while criticizing the handling of the Iran war. Former White House senior adviser Calley Means accused Susie Wiles and other aides of prioritizing tobacco, vaping, food, pharmaceutical and pesticide interests over the Make America Healthy Again agenda. The allegations were disputed by representatives for several officials and companies, while former FDA commissioner Marty Makary supported some of Means' claims. Congressman-elect Nancy Lacore said she would prioritize ending the war, reviewing tariffs, lowering housing and health-care costs and tightening political ethics rules when she enters Congress.
