Democrats have secured control of the U.S. Senate in the midterm elections, marking a significant rebuke to President Donald Trump's agenda and granting the party substantial leverage for the remainder of his term. The victories, described as historic and deep incursions into Republican territory, signal a shift in the political landscape.
While the Senate outcome is clear, Democrats are also on the cusp of regaining the House of Representatives, with early results indicating a strong performance in districts that had been gerrymandered to favor Republicans. These wins occurred in states that Trump had previously won, underscoring the broad rejection of his policies by voters.
