Democrats win both chambers in US midterm elections

stuttgarter-nachrichten.de (German) —

Democrats have regained control of both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections, dealing a significant defeat to Republicans and President Donald Trump. The party secured a majority in the Senate following its earlier win in the House of Representatives. According to the Associated Press, based on voter surveys and ongoing ballot counts, Democrats won more than half of the Senate's 100 seats, including two allied independents. The House of Representatives had already shifted to Democratic control prior to this result. The outcome marks a major setback for Trump's party, with Democrat James Talarico achieving a notable victory in Texas. The results were projected using voter polling data and partial vote tallies.
