According to the Guardian, the Democratic landslide in the US Senate and House of Representatives midterms could carry serious consequences for Fifa president Gianni Infantino. Infantino's cozy relationship with Donald Trump, including the awarding of a Fifa Peace Prize and financial dealings with the Trump organization, had already drawn criticism. With the shift in congressional power and Jamie Raskin poised to chair the House Judiciary Committee, formal investigations into agreements, Trump Tower office leases, and World Cup-related projects have become much more likely. Meanwhile, Fifa council member Kozo Tashima's announcement to run in March's leadership vote provides voters with an alternative candidate.
