The party also weathered a Shutdown and appointed a new White House Press Secretary
Democrats retained control of both the house and the senate following the 2026 midterm elections. The party also navigated a federal government Shutdown that began earlier in the year. In addition, a new White House Press Secretary was announced before the end of 2026.
The Shutdown started after funding lapses in early January and continued until the house, under Democratic leadership, approved a temporary funding measure. That action restored limited operations for federal agencies. The interruption ended once the agreement took effect.
