In the U.S. midterm elections, the opposition Democratic Party is confirmed to have regained majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, dealing a historic defeat to President Trump's Republican Party. According to CNN, Democrats secured victories by holding competitive seats in states like Michigan and winning in Texas for the first time in 38 years and Kansas for the first time in 94 years, capturing seven Republican seats overall. With two years left in Trump's term, losing control of Congress will force difficult governance, as the party faces significant challenges in advancing its legislative agenda.
