Democrats Projected to Win House, Flip Senate Seats in North and South Carolina

Democrats are projected to win a majority in the US House of Representatives, according to CNN, with the party also leading in Senate races and making gains in Republican strongholds. The scale of the victory remains unclear as counting continues. The Democrats have flipped at least four Republican House seats and are leading in dozens more, while also winning Senate races in North Carolina and South Carolina. Democratic challengers are ahead in Ohio, Texas, and Kansas, with President Donald Trump's party defending its Senate majority. Trump expressed confidence in the results despite facing low approval ratings amid high gasoline prices and the Iran conflict. Millions of Americans voted early, and some states reported technical issues at polling places.
