Democrats win Congress in US midterms, dealing major blow to Trump

Democrats won full control of the US Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, delivering a major rebuke to President Donald Trump and his Republican Party. The victory gives Democrats power to block Trump's agenda and investigate his administration for the final two years of his presidency. The vote reflected deep anger over living costs, tariffs, and Trump's war against Iran, which has sent fuel prices soaring. Democrats captured the Senate with upsets in Kansas, Iowa, Texas, and other Republican strongholds, while also flipping the House. Trump said he would accept the results but signaled he would use his veto power against Democratic legislation. Democrats also made historic gains at the state level, including Keisha Lance Bottoms becoming the first Black woman elected governor in US history in Georgia, and Xavier Becerra becoming California's first elected Latino governor. Republicans held some seats in Florida, but analysts called the result a strong repudiation of Trump's policies.
