Democrats win House and Senate, setting up clash with Trump

Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, a historic shift that will challenge President Donald Trump's agenda starting in January. The party flipped at least seven Senate seats and over two dozen House districts, including races in heavily Republican states like Kansas and Texas. Notable wins included Josh Turek in Iowa, Adam Hamilton in Kansas, and James Talarico in Texas, marking the first time since 2006 that both chambers changed hands in a single midterm. Democrats plan to prioritize affordability and oversight of the Trump administration, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer promising "relief is on the way." Trump congratulated Democrats but noted he retains veto power over their legislation. Historic firsts included Keisha Lance Bottoms as Georgia's first Black female governor and Abdul El-Sayed as the first Muslim senator.
