Democrats win control of both House and Senate in US midterm elections, rebuking Trump
Summary
Democrats won control of both the House and the Senate in the US midterm elections held Tuesday, November 3, ending two years of Republican control of Congress and delivering a sharp rebuke to President Donald Trump. Reports said voters abandoned Trump's party nearly everywhere, from Hispanic strongholds to deep-red territory, with Democrats flipping seats in states including Texas, South Carolina and Kansas. Outlets described the outcome as a historic reset of the balance of power in Washington, and one report said it could change US foreign policy by giving Democrats a significant share of power in Congress.
