Democrats win Congress and impose defeat on Trump

The Democrats achieved significant victories in the U.S. midterm elections, regaining control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, marking a major political shift. This outcome imposes challenges for President Trump, who will now face a Congress led by the opposition. Key wins included Democratic candidates defeating incumbents in traditionally Republican states, such as Texas and Kansas. The results reflect voter dissatisfaction with living costs and government corruption, with many voters prioritizing these issues. Trump acknowledged the Democratic success but distanced himself from the Republican losses, attributing some blame to external factors like the war in Iran. The new Congress will take office in January, leading to a divided government.
