A sigh of relief for the world, but the biggest risk remains in the White House
The historic nature of the US midterm election win for the Democrats also has all the hallmarks of a country walking back from a cliff edge.
Democrats have captured a substantial majority in the House of Representatives, marking their largest win in the U.S. midterm elections since 2008. According to an Associated Press tally, Democrats have secured at least 240 seats in the House and 54 in the Senate, outpacing all other 21st-century Democratic majorities. This victory comes as the party aims to work with President Donald Trump post-election, following his pledge to collaborate with Democrats in the newly elected Congress, which convenes on January 3, 2027.
