Answer:

The Democratic Party won the Presidency in the 90s but lost control of the Congress.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Democrats were able to return to power in 1993 with their leader, President Bill Clinton.

In his first two years in office, Clinton ruled as a typical Democrat of the second half of the twentieth century; causing the State to intervene in the economy and spend a lot. He wanted to solve the problems by spending more and without reducing the bureaucracy; and even wanted to push for a health reform (designed by his wife Hillary) that greatly increased the role of the state in the health system (to the point that some critics talked about proposing to "socialize" health) which also implied a considerable increase in government spending.

The result of this measures was that the economy not only did not improve, but worsened. For this reason, the Republican Party won the mid-term legislative elections in 1994 and, for the first time in several decades, the Republicans became the majority in Congress.
