Democrats win House, lead Senate races in Texas, Michigan, and Maine

Democrats were projected to easily win a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections, a result widely seen as a backlash against President Donald Trump. Control of the Senate remained too close to call as of late Tuesday night. The House flip was called by multiple outlets, including MS NOW and CNN, with commentators describing it as a repudiation of Trumpism. The Democratic surge follows Trump's approval rating falling to 37%, near his record low, amid high prices and an unpopular war with Iran. Democrats led in several key Senate races in Texas, Michigan, and Maine. If the Senate ends in a 50-50 split, Republicans would retain an edge via Vice President JD Vance's tie-breaking vote. In other results, Keisha Lance Bottoms won the Georgia governor's race, becoming the first Black woman elected governor in U.S. history.
