Democrats Took Control of Both Houses of the US Congress
Projections indicate Democrats secured 53 Senate seats and 219 House seats, with analysts citing voter frustration over high energy prices and the cost of living as factors.
- The Democratic Party took control of both chambers of Congress on Tuesday, securing 53 Senate seats and 219 House members against the Republican Party's 41 and 126 respectively.
- Voter discontent over cost of living, tariffs, and high energy prices—fueled by the Iran war Trump launched with Israel earlier this year—drove the significant Democratic victory.
- Democrats secured victories in Republican strongholds including Texas, Ohio, and Kansas—states that had not elected a Democrat for nearly 100 years—alongside flips in Maine and North Carolina.
- Trump admitted the results surprised him, announcing he would now become "Mr. Veto" to block legislation passed by Congress despite acknowledging the electoral defeat.
- Government ministers insisted the relationship with Trump remains an "excellent relationship" despite the electoral drubbing, stating they do not expect the change in power to alter ties.
