Democrats win U.S. Congress; Ukraine aid hopes rise

Democrats won full control of the U.S. Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, delivering a sweeping rebuke of President Donald Trump and his Republican Party. The victory gives Democrats the power to block Trump's agenda and investigate his administration. The landslide of upsets handed Democrats both the House of Representatives and the Senate, driven by deep anger over living costs, tariffs, and Trump's war against Iran, which has sent fuel prices soaring. Republican House Speaker will step down following the defeat. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy expressed hope that the Democrat gains will bring more help for Ukraine. Analysts note the results will likely have less impact on India-U.S. bilateral relations than on geopolitics and India's global operating environment.
