WASHINGTON _ It may not be the "blue tsunami" Democratic activists had been seeking, but the party's victories in House races across the country Tuesday night are enough to block President Donald Trump's agenda for the next two years _ and sweep San Francisco Democrat Nancy Pelosi back into the speaker's office.
Fueled by anti-Trump energy, Democrats won Republican seats in suburban areas across the country _ from Charlotte, N.C., to Kansas City, Mo., and Denver. That gives the party a solid grasp on the House chamber, where the rules give the majority party significant power to control the agenda.
A Democratic-controlled House is unlikely to be able to see much of its legislation become law.
