Democrats sweep midterm races, poised to control House and Senate

Democrats swept key races across the country in Tuesday's midterm elections, positioning the party to take control of both the House and Senate, according to political observers and party leaders. The party flipped seats in Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina, won a Kansas Senate race for the first time since the 1930s, and elected James Talarico to the Texas Senate, the first Democrat there since 1988. Historic wins include Georgia's first Black female governor and California's first elected Latino governor. Democrats attributed the results to rejection of President Donald Trump, while Vice President Vance cited the war with Iran. Voters polled by ABC News expressed concerns over health care costs, living expenses and gas prices. Trump now faces a lame-duck period with potential unilateral actions.
