Democrats win attorney-general races in five Republican-leaning states

Summary

Democrats won state attorney-general races in five Republican-leaning states, a development the Straits Times says gives Trump a new headache. A later Straits Times report names the states as Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas and Texas, and says the wins could reshape US lawsuits on abortion, immigration and more. The Hindu reports that incoming Democratic attorneys general could halt cooperation with federal immigration operations, fortify abortion access and file multistate challenges against the Trump administration's environmental and gun policies. These accounts are based only on article summaries, so candidate names and vote margins are not included.
