WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly suffered another political setback following the Republican Party’s defeat in the midterm elections, with Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon resigning from her position at the Department of Justice.
According to media reports, Dhillon’s resignation came after the election results, marking a significant development for the Trump administration. However, no further details about the reasons behind her departure were provided in the supplied report.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party, which reportedly made significant gains in the elections, has vowed to hold President Trump accountable for his policies and seek to limit the use of his presidential powers.
According to the reported results, Democrats secured 54 seats in the Senate, gaining a majority, while also increasing their representation in the House of Representatives by 30 seats.
Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said the party’s priorities would include tackling inflation and holding the Trump administration accountable for its decisions and policies.
The reported results could have significant implications for the remainder of Trump’s presidency, as stronger Democratic representation in Congress could increase scrutiny of the administration and complicate its legislative agenda.
Dhillon’s reported resignation has added to the political pressure facing the administration following the election setback.
