# House Democrats outline oversight plans if they win the majority

Date: 2026

AP reported on 14 October 2026 that House Democrats were preparing a first-100-days agenda combining affordability measures with broad oversight of the [Trump](/people/mig-donald-trump) administration if they win the House. Earlier reporting described possible investigations into alleged corruption, executive conduct and Trump family business ties. The plans provide factual context for [Speaker Mike Johnson](/people/mike-johnson)'s warning that a Democratic majority would use committee power against the administration, while leaving the legitimacy of any future inquiry to the evidence and procedures used once committees act.
