The Democratic Party took control of both chambers in the U.S. Congress during tonight’s closely watched midterm elections.

Trump and GOP Congress’ attacks on the clean economy hurt workers and the overall economy, which was a focal point of voters’ frustrations. BlueGreen Alliance (BGA) research found that largely due to the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), 223 manufacturing, clean energy, and industrial projects are already facing cancellations and delays representing at least $82.8 billion in capital investment which could cost 111,765 jobs. Additionally, more than 3,034 manufacturing, clean energy, and industrial sites face tax restrictions due to OBBBA, putting at risk $695.2 billion in capital investment and 1,184,996 jobs.

In preparation for the new Congress, BGA released its 2026 Federal Policy Playbook to guide federal policymakers in the development of legislation to build a worker and community-centered clean economy. The playbook contains more than 80 bills and additional recommendations to guide the 120th Congress towards that goal.

Following the outcome of the elections, BGA released a statement from Executive Director Jason Walsh:

“We just witnessed the collective power voters showed to beat back the Trump regime and fight for their country. Trump and his GOP cronies tried to drive our economy into the ground, but the American people stood up and made it clear that they reject Trump’s disastrous agenda.

“We are committed to working with the incoming Congress to hold the administration accountable for the harm they have done to working people and pass legislation to build a clean economy that works for us all—not just billionaires. Creating opportunity for workers and communities while addressing environmental challenges is not just good policy, it’s also good politics.”
