WASHINGTON (The Thursday Times) — Democrats ne Mangal ko hone wale midterm elections mein US Senate aur House of Representatives donon ka control hasil kar liya, jo Sadr Donald Trump ki faisla kun sarzanish hai aur jis ke saath 2023 ke baad pehli baar party ko Congress par poora control wapas mil gaya hai.
Democrats ne Republicans se Senate ki saat nashistein cheen leen: North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, Iowa aur Maine. Texas mein James Talarico ne Ken Paxton ko haraya, Ohio mein Sherrod Brown ne apni nashist wapas hasil kar li, Roy Cooper ne North Carolina jeet liya, Josh Turek ne Iowa mein kamyabi hasil ki, Kansas mein Adam Hamilton ne Senator Roger Marshall ko haraya aur South Carolina mein Annie Andrews ne Darline Graham ko shikast di. Maine mein Troy Jackson ne Susan Collins ko haraya, jis se Senate mein un ke taqreeban 30 saal ka daur khatm ho gaya.
Democrats ne Georgia bhi apne paas rakha, jahan Jon Ossoff dobara muntakhib hue, aur New Hampshire bhi, jahan Chris Pappas ne John Sununu ko haraya. Abdul El-Sayed ne Michigan jeet liya aur Senate ke liye muntakhib hone wale pehle Musalman ban gaye, jabke Alaska mein ginti abhi jari hai. House bhar ke nateeje bhi abhi aa rahe hain.
House mein Democrats ne maujooda Republican arkan ko shikast di, jin mein New Jersey mein Tom Kean, Iowa mein Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Wisconsin mein Derrick Van Orden aur Pennsylvania mein chaar shamil hain. Party ke House leader Hakeem Jeffries ab pehle siyah faam Speaker banne ke qareeb hain. "Samandar se chamakte samandar tak, American awam ne apni baat kah di hai aur saaf kar diya hai ke intehapasandi bohat ho chuki, corruption bohat ho chuki," unhon ne kaha. Senate ke leader Chuck Schumer ne is ko "Senate ke naqshe ki aik nasli tashkeel-e-nau" qarar diya.
Mehngai, Iran ke saath jang aur corruption par voters ki narazgi ne nateeje ko tai kiya. Trump ne unhein talqeen ki thi ke woh "farz karein ke main ballot par hoon", aur unhon ne kai hafte conservative sooboon mein jalson mein sarf kiye. Democrats ne kai aise sooboon mein bhi kamyabi hasil ki jahan Trump ne do saal pehle do ankon ke farq se jeet hasil ki thi.
Naya Congress January mein apni nashistein sambhalega. Democrats ko intizamia ki tehqeeqat karne aur Trump ke namzad kardah afraad ko, bashumool adalaton ke liye, rokne ka ikhtiyar mil jayega. "Lawyer up," Robert Garcia ne likha, jin se tawaqqo hai ke woh House Oversight Committee ki qiyadat karenge. Trump ke paas veto ka ikhtiyar barqarar rahega, jise radd karne ke liye Democrats ke paas zaroori numbers nahin hain, is liye un ki qanoon sazi ko phir bhi Trump ke dastkhat darkar honge.
Is nateeje ki ehmiyat Washington se kahin aage tak hai. US ke ahalkaron ne pichhle maheene khabardar kiya tha ke agar Republicans haar gaye toh Trump Iran par bare hamle ka hukm de sakte hain, jis daawe ko White House ke aik ahalkar ne mustarad kar diya. Intikhabi raat jang ke bare mein poochne par Trump ne kaha ke yeh us waqt khatm hogi "jab main kahoon ke khatm ho gayi".
