Democrats win Congress in midterm elections, dealing blow to Trump

bengali.abplive.com (Bengali) —

Democrats have taken control of the US Congress in the midterm elections, a major setback for President Donald Trump. The party has secured majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. With 53 Senate seats and 231 House seats going to Democrats, they have surpassed the required majority in both chambers. This outcome reverses the traditional Republican strongholds and follows Trump's approval rating falling to 37 percent. The Democratic victory removes obstacles to investigations into Trump, including potential impeachment proceedings and the Jeffrey Epstein files. Some Republicans blame Trump's policies, including inflation and the conflict with Iran, for the electoral defeat.
