Democrats Sweep Congress in Historic Midterm Defeat for Trump

Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, delivering a historic defeat to Republicans and President Trump. The party gained seven Senate seats and a commanding House majority, with several races still undecided. Democrats now hold a 54-44 Senate advantage, with Mississippi and Alaska too close to call. In the House, they lead 254-162, with 19 races outstanding, far exceeding predictions of a 20-seat gain and a 234-201 majority. The results mark one of the worst midterm performances for a party in power in recent history. The outcome reshapes the political landscape ahead of the 2028 presidential election, with analysts citing multiple factors for the Republican losses.
