Democrats Seize Senate and House in Midterm Rout of Trump
Democrats Rout GOP
Voters delivered a blistering rebuke to President Trump, handing Democrats control of both chambers for the first time in his second term. The party flipped Senate seats in Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina—states long considered Republican fortresses—and won House districts even in gerrymandered areas. Keisha Lance Bottoms became the first Black woman elected governor, while Gina Hinojosa and Amy Acton broke barriers in Texas and Ohio. Trump said he was 'absolutely willing to accept those results.'
We just took back Texas. We just showed that a politics of division is no match for a politics of love.

As an Australian, I can say we are all very relieved.

The Mississippi senate race is essentially tied, which is kind of an insane result. As well as the Democrats winning practically everything in Texas.

Democracy still has a fighting chance in USA, and that’s good news.

It’s a bloodbath for Republicans. Even the guy in charge of leading GOP efforts to win the House lost.
