Democrats win US House in midterm wave rejecting Trump

Democrats won control of the US House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections, a projected wave that delivered a major rebuke to President Donald Trump and put the opposition in position to potentially take the Senate. CNN and CNBC projected the Democratic House majority, granting the party power to block Trump's legislative agenda and launch investigations into his administration. The results reflected voter discontent over living costs, tariffs, and the Iran war, with Democrats flipping Republican-held seats in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Indiana, including a shocking Senate win by pediatrician Annie Andrews over Trump-backed Darline Graham. Democratic control of the House will enable probes into the Iran conflict and corruption allegations, while a Senate loss would threaten Trump's judicial nominees. A White House official said the president remained "defiant," and Trump defended his record, vowing to veto opposition legislation.
