Democrats Win US Congress; QCP Says They Fall Short of Two-Thirds Veto-Proof Majority

Democrats won control of both chambers of the US Congress, with the Senate at 54-44 and the House at 253-155, QCP Capital said. The S&P 500 fell 4.36% to 7,353.73 on Thursday, its biggest one-day drop since April 2025, while the Nasdaq fell 5.52% to 24,315 and bitcoin dropped 5.5% to $76,036. QCP noted Democrats lack a two-thirds majority to override Trump’s vetoes, and their potential push to delay data-center approvals and cut tax incentives could hit AI infrastructure.

The split outcome matters more than the headline: a Democratic sweep that stops short of veto-proof margins means legislative risk without legislative resolution, leaving markets to price uncertainty rather than a clear policy path. The simultaneous selloff across equities and bitcoin suggests this is being read as a broad risk event, not a sector story. The concrete exposure sits in AI infrastructure, where QCP flags possible delays to data-center approvals and trimmed tax incentives as the mechanisms to watch. Whether those levers actually get pulled — and how hard the veto standoff constrains them — is the open question.
