2006 election

The 2006 election in the United States was a midterm election held during President George W. Bush’s second term. It primarily reflected public dissatisfaction with ongoing conflicts in Iraq and domestic issues. Democrats gained control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, ending Republican dominance in Congress. This shift allowed the Democrats to influence legislation on defense, healthcare, and the economy. The election demonstrated a desire for change and accountability, shaping policy debates and government priorities for the next two years. It was one of the most significant midterms in recent U.S. political history due to the party control change.
