Democrats won major midterm gains, seizing control of both the House and the Senate and building a 54-seat Senate majority that includes two independents. Their wins included a historic Kansas Senate victory and gains in several Trump-carried states, while Alaska and Mississippi races remain uncalled.

Schumer said Democrats will push to lower costs, end the Iran war, and launch White House corruption investigations, while insisting the majority was won to carry out what voters want. He also said the party will work with the president or without him, and that Trump's Senate influence is over.
