  "account": "The US midterm elections indicate a significant loss for President Donald Trump's Republicans, with Democrats likely to gain a solid majority in the House of Representatives. According to CNN, Democratic candidates are leading in around 60 seats currently held by Republicans, while Republicans have secured only 4 Democratic-held seats. The Democrats are also making gains in the Senate, where they need to win a net of four seats to take control from the Republicans' current 53-seat majority. The elections were seen as a referendum on Trump's policies, with many voters expressing dissatisfaction with the economy and rising prices.",
  "summary": "Many Americans went to the congressional elections angry about the state of the economy - and are blaming President Trump. For his Republicans, things look bad.",
