Democrats Flip US Senate in Midterms, Deal Trump a Major Setback

Democrats have reportedly regained control of the US Senate after a series of unexpected wins in traditionally Republican states. With vote counting still underway in several races, the party is also hoping to take the House and control both chambers of Congress next year for the first time since 2022. The Senate majority would give Democrats greater power to block President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda and nominations. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called the result a victory for the party and promised voters that “relief is on the way.” The reported wins came amid falling approval ratings for Trump, concerns about the economy and immigration, and controversy over his decisions on Iran and domestic policy. His involvement in Republican primaries also drew attention, including in North Carolina and Texas, where Democratic candidates reportedly won key races.
