Democrats win US House and Senate in rebuke to Trump

US voters delivered a significant victory to the Democratic Party, resulting in them taking control of both the House and the Senate. This outcome is seen as a rebuke to the governing style of President Donald Trump. A notable win for Democrats occurred in Texas, where James Talarico secured a US Senate seat, marking the first statewide Democratic victory in that state in three decades, despite substantial financial backing from Elon Musk for the opposing Republican candidate, Ken Paxton.
