US Midterm Elections: Democrats Seize Control of Congress in Major Blow to Trump

Democrats have reportedly won control of both chambers of the US Congress in a sweeping midterm election victory, dealing a major political setback to President Donald Trump and his Republican Party.
The victory gives Democrats control of the House of Representatives and Senate, strengthening their ability to block Trump’s legislative agenda and investigate his administration during the final two years of his presidency.
The results reflect growing voter dissatisfaction over rising living costs, tariffs and Trump’s war against Iran, which has contributed to soaring fuel prices.
Democrats recorded major victories in traditionally Republican strongholds, including Texas, Kansas, Iowa, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ohio.
