Democrats Win Congress in Midterms, Dealing Blow to Trump

ilsole24ore.com (Italian) —

Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in the US midterm elections, a major defeat for President Donald Trump. Trump acknowledged the results but announced he will use his veto power against legislation he opposes. The Democratic victory included key governor races, with Keisha Lance Bottoms elected as the first African American female governor in US history. The party also secured historic firsts, including the first Muslim senator and likely first African American House Speaker. Trump said he has already spoken with Democratic leaders and is willing to collaborate, though he warned of vetoes. International reactions were mixed, with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk praising the outcome as a win for democracy.
