Democrats win both chambers in US midterms, dealing major blow to Trump

hln.be (Dutch) —

The Democratic Party has won majorities in both the US House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections, dealing a significant defeat to President Donald Trump and the Republicans. The Democrats secured at least 53 Senate seats, gaining ground in states including Iowa, Kansas, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas. Trump has said he will accept the results, while attributing the loss partly to the war with Iran. In other notable races, Democrats won the Texas governorship for the first time in decades, elected David Crowley as Wisconsin's first Black governor, and made Abdul El-Sayed the first Muslim in the Senate.
