Democrats win US House, rebuking Trump in midterm elections

Democrats are projected to win control of the US House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections, a major blow to Republican President Donald Trump's agenda for the final two years of his term. Projections from Decision Desk HQ and CNN show Democrats gaining the necessary seats to flip the House. Democrats also won key Senate races in North Carolina and South Carolina, while holding their own seats, as they seek to gain four seats to take the upper chamber. Exit polls show half of voters viewed the election as a chance to rebuke Trump, with 70% wanting Congress to strengthen its oversight of the executive. Trump's approval rating is near historic lows amid voter discontent over the Iran war, fuel prices, and the cost of living.
