The victory of the Democrats transforms the levers of influence into what was a GOP-controlled Washington, separating power between the two houses of Congress and ensuring that next year will be largely dominated by House investigations into the GOP. Trump government, rife with scandal.

This also paves the way for what promises to be a lively struggle to determine who will lead Democrats next year. representative Nancy PelosiNancy Patricia's Alesandro PelosiHealth care at night: the popularity of Medicaid on the ballot in four red states | GOP in a deadlock on pre-existing conditions | Pelosi urges Dems to get the message on health one day before mid-session Countdown to the elections: Trump presents his mid-term referendum as a referendum on the presidency | Senate seats most likely to tip | A high turnout raises Dem's hope | Controversy over Trump announcement | Weather forecasts head for key states | GM to Watch Votes in 19 States On The Money: Robust Economy Flooded by Mid-Term Trump Message | Trump Downgrades Rumors That Dems Requires Tax Returns | Iranian sanctions come into force | The IRS is fighting for school donations MORE (D-Calif.) Has been at the helm since 2003 and hopes to maintain this position at the next Congress. But a growing number of Democrats are demanding new faces at the top and it is still unclear whether Pelosi will have the support needed to hold the President's hammer at these divisions.

On the other side of the street, Republicans will have their own problems to face. In addition to regrouping as a result of a mid-term failure, they will have to choose a new leadership team to face the newly installed Democrats.

Meanwhile, Democrats celebrate the possibility of using powerful committee powers – many with the power to issue subpoenas and compel testimony – while they prepare to open the Promised investigations into potential administrative offenses on issues as varied as executive travel, business conflicts, and family separations at the US-Mexico border.

A key element of the campaign message of the Democrats spared this year was the promise to monitor the executive power they repeat has been neglected since Trump took office. And the energetic voters who have just delivered the Democrats to the majority will be waiting for them to follow their example.

They seem ready to do exactly that.

Outside of control, Democrats have a long list of legislative priorities they want to address – issues they can not address for eight years with the majority of the GOP. At the top of the list are proposals tailored to reduce costs under ObamaCare; lower prices for prescription drugs; and target tens of billions of dollars on old and new infrastructure projects.

Many of these proposals will be short-lived in the GOP-controlled Senate. But Trump led his campaign by promising to cut the cost of drugs and boost infrastructure projects – two places where Democrats see the possibility of early cooperation with the president.

Democrats are also committed to tackling more controversial issues head-on, including proposals to protect "dreamers", strengthen gun laws, and strengthen voter protection.

For the first time next year, however, Democrats in the House promise to reorganize the operation of the institution itself, promoting the first day's proposals to limit the influence of money in politics and to adopt more stringent ethical rules for members of Congress.

First, the Democrats must decide who will lead them to the crucial presidential election of 2020.

Pelosi made history in 2007, becoming the first female president of the country. She was, however, ousted four years later by the Tea Party wave. She wants to be the woman at the table again, especially with Trump at the other end.

Pelosi maintains broad support within the Liberal caucus, but the generation change claim is real and growing, and its future may depend on the feelings of the new students, many of whom have moved away from the Liberal Democratic leader during the campaign.

Hoyer and Representative James Clyburn (S.C.), Deputy Chief, also wish to retain their relative rankings next year. But their fate may depend on that of Pelosi, and there is no absence of young and anxious democrats eager to start filling the void at the top, whenever it happens.

Elections for the leadership of the Democrats are scheduled for November 28.
