lexpress.fr (French) —

Democrats are projected to take control of both chambers of the US Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, according to early projections, dealing a major setback to President Donald Trump. The party is expected to win the House of Representatives, where all 435 seats were up for election, and is also gaining ground in the Senate, with Democratic candidates projected to win in Republican strongholds like Texas and South Carolina. Trump said he would accept the results and work with Democrats, while the projected Senate win in Texas by Democrat James Talarico over Republican Ken Paxton was called a major upset.
