> The projected shift would give Democrats control of committee investigations and new power to block parts of President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.

Democrats were projected Wednesday to win control of the U.S. House, a shift that would end Republicans’ full control of Congress and change who directs oversight and legislative work.

Democrats are projected to secure the widest House majority in nearly 20 years. With control of the chamber, Democrats would lead congressional committee investigations and oversee the government. The party could also block parts of President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.

House control determines which party leads committees and can investigate the government, giving Democrats a formal route to examine the administration and challenge parts of its agenda. That authority could shape congressional oversight and the path for U.S. legislation affecting crypto markets.

Republicans have held both chambers since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term. A Democratic House would break that unified control and place the chamber’s committee agenda and investigations in Democratic hands, shifting the balance of power in Congress.
