independent.co.uk —

Democrats won full control of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, dealing devastating losses to President Trump and his Republican Party. The party is projected to take back both the House and the Senate following a series of major wins dubbed a "Blue Tsunami." Trump initially blamed Republican candidates for the losses, including defeats in GOP strongholds like Texas and South Carolina. In a significant upset, Democrat James Talarico won his Texas senate race, defeating Trump-backed Ken Paxton and ending the party's 38-year losing streak in the state.
