US EditionTrump, Reeling from Election Night, Tightens Focus on Midterms
Democrats won key races by double-digit margins while Trump plans to counter with aggressive election strategies amid concerns about voter suppression and election integrity.
- On Tuesday, Democratic candidates won multiple high-profile contests with broad double-digit victories, including California at 28.2 and Pennsylvania at 23.2, signaling a broad sweep.

- Texas, however, bucked the trend by passing 17 ballot propositions advancing a right-wing agenda despite warnings of voter suppression and threats to vote-recording and tabulating equipment.
