Democrats win Congress as voters reject Trump's Republicans

Democrats won control of both the US Senate and House in Tuesday's midterm elections, seizing Congress for the remainder of Donald Trump's presidency. Trump conceded the Democrats "did a good job" and cited the Iran war and higher fuel prices as factors in the defeat. Democrats secured victories in Republican strongholds including Texas, Ohio, and Kansas, with the Michigan Senate race still uncalled as Democrat Abdul El-Sayed claimed victory. The party's new congressional majority will allow it to block Trump's agenda and potentially pursue impeachment proceedings. Former President Barack Obama called the results a "clear message" from Americans seeking unity and practical solutions. El-Sayed's supporters celebrated his apparent win as a historic moment for progressives, with the candidate vowing to push for Medicare for all and campaign finance reform.
