US election results 2026 live: Democrats win Congress, Schumer vows to end Iran war

clarin.com (Spanish) —

Democrats are projected to win control of both the House and Senate in the US midterm elections, a major defeat for President Donald Trump. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has vowed to end the war with Iran, citing support from some Republican senators. Schumer stated Congress will use its budget power to stop the conflict, which Trump partially blamed for Republican losses. The projected Democratic gains could reach 260 House seats, the most since the 1990s, with key Senate races in Alaska and Mississippi still undecided. Democrats plan to investigate Trump's alleged corruption, while international reactions are emerging. Mexico's president linked ICE raids to the Latino vote shift, and Russia said it will defend its interests regardless of the US outcome.
