Democrats seize Congress in historic midterm wipeout, Trump reportedly speechless

Democrats have won full control of the US Congress in a historic midterm election wipeout, leaving President Donald Trump reportedly speechless as Republican losses mounted across the country. The party secured majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, with projected victories announced before polls closed in some states. A source said Trump watched Fox News "paralysed into silence" while his team went to a bar, though he indicated he would accept the results. Democratic Senate wins included Texas, a state not electing a Democratic senator since the 1980s, and Kansas, last doing so in 1932. Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's race, becoming the first Muslim elected to the chamber.
