Democrats win both chambers in US midterm elections, dealing Trump a major defeat

Democrats won majorities in both chambers of the US Congress in the November 4 midterm elections, dealing a significant defeat to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. The Democrats secured 54 Senate seats and 230 House seats, with victories in traditionally Republican states including Texas, Kansas, Ohio, and Iowa. Trump blamed hostile media and weak candidates for the loss, while promising to veto Democratic legislation and govern through executive orders. Voter dissatisfaction was driven by rising fuel and food prices, immigration policies, and concerns about corruption. The results have sparked internal debates within both parties about leadership and strategy ahead of the 2028 presidential election.
