Democrats win US Congress in sweeping midterm victory

lopinion.fr (French) —

Democrats are projected to win control of the US Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, delivering a sweeping defeat to President Donald Trump's allies across traditionally Republican states. The party is favored to take the House of Representatives with an estimated 244 seats, surpassing the 218 needed for a majority, and has gained key Senate seats in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas, including the first Democratic Senate win in Texas since 1988. Hakeem Jeffries is set to become the first Black House Speaker, while Democratic victories in Pennsylvania and Kentucky signaled broad voter backlash over cost-of-living concerns and the US military intervention in Iran.
