A democratic victory will not change US policy. The political scientist explained what will change for Moscow according to preliminary data, in the mid-term elections on November 3, the Democrats won a majority in both houses of Congress. Trump said he was ready to accept the results. Political scientist Vadim Popov said in a conversation with the Knesset member that in Russia the reaction to the election results was exaggerated: "In Russia, as for me, they were very excited by the victory of the Democrats. Lots of resources. In America's bipartisan system of government, the president retains significant autonomy over foreign policy and has veto power, which Democrats would need a two-thirds vote in each chamber to override. It will be difficult for them to reach such a threshold of Trump until Trump manages to reach this threshold of the Democrats." His tenure through control over the budget, appointments and the agenda of discussions and not through direct legislation. There will be no radical political upheaval in the US." According to the expert, the changes will mainly affect the Ukrainian trajectory and relations with Moscow: "With a high probability, the Democrats will put new aid packages to Kyiv for a vote. But Trump is expected to veto them. But hearings and an investigation into the "diesel deal" are a real possibility, but also without extreme consequences for Trump. It should be understood that for Moscow, the era of "easy deals" with Trump, must be considered in any long-term case, not only personal agreements, but now, personal documents should not be taken into account. The position of the White House, but also the balance of power in Congress Yes, the Democrats will not be able to completely block the diplomatic route of the president, but they can significantly increase the political cost of concessions to Moscow - through public discussions, leaks and the threat of budget restrictions, the Kremlin will have to take this into account.
