Democrats sweep House and Senate in historic rebuke to Trump

Democrats won control of both the Senate and House in Tuesday's US elections, delivering a historic rebuke to President Donald Trump with sweeping victories in Republican strongholds. The results usher in divided government in Washington. Democrats won Senate seats in Kansas, South Carolina, and Texas, where they also ousted Governor Greg Abbott, fueled by voter frustration over the Iran war, living costs, and Trump's leadership. They are expected to investigate the administration and block nominees, while Trump accepted the outcome and offered to work with Democrats. The wave hit counties across demographics, with Democrats winning all competitive House races decided so far. Historic firsts included Georgia's first Black woman governor and Texas's first Latina governor, while Republicans lost ground nearly everywhere as voters expressed anger with the country's direction.
