Democrats Sweep Midterms, Retake House and Senate

fnn.jp (Japanese) —

In the U.S. midterm elections, the opposition Democratic Party secured majorities in both the House and Senate, delivering a historic defeat to President Trump's Republican Party. Democrats won in traditionally Republican strongholds, including Texas, South Carolina, and Michigan, where El-Sayed became the first Muslim senator in U.S. history. Candidates framed the results as a rejection of Trump's leadership. Trump stated he is ready to accept the results and cooperate with Democrats, but posted a photo of a red hat reading "veto," signaling potential obstruction of Democratic legislation and deepening political division.
