Democrats Win Congress in US Midterms, Dealing Major Blow to Trump

The Democratic Party has won control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the U.S. midterm elections, delivering a historic defeat to President Donald Trump and enabling a wave of investigations against his administration. All major U.S. networks, including Fox News, project Democrats will hold 51 Senate seats and comfortably exceed the 218 House seats needed for a majority. Trump downplayed the loss, blaming the absence of his name on ballots despite campaigning extensively, and threatened to use executive vetoes to block congressional probes. Democrats secured notable victories in Texas for the first time in nearly four decades, boosted by Hispanic voter turnout, and won in California, Florida, and several other states. The party plans a "hundred days initiative" to launch investigations and pursue legislation on healthcare, living costs, and tax reform.
