Democrats win US Congress in midterm rout of Trump
The results reflected deep anger over living costs, tariffs and Trump's war against Iran.
On an historic night, Democrats have dealt a significant blow to Donald Trump's political legacy. The Democrats have not only reclaimed control of the Senate but also secured a decisive majority in the House of Representatives. The historic results came as a shockwave through American politics, as the party now holds power to frustrate President Trump's agenda and investigate his administration.
The Democrats' victory in Texas, Maine, Kansas, Ohio, Iowa, and North, Michigan and South Carolina, sent shockwaves across the nation. The party flipped six Senate seats, securing a majority, with notable victories including Adam Hamilton in Kansas, James Talarico in Texas, Annie Andrews in South Carolina, Sherrod Brown in Ohio, and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
In the House of Representatives, Democrats projected to win 245 seats, while Republicans secured 166. The Democrats' historic win was fueled by record turnout among black Democrats in the South and Hispanic voters in Texas.
