Democrats win control of both the House and Senate in midterms
Democrats flipped both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, according to the New York Times, CBS News, France 24, the Guardian and Fox News.
Democrats won control of the U.S. House and Senate in the midterm elections, according to reports from the New York Times, CBS News, France 24, the Guardian and Fox News. Republicans lose their hold on both chambers.
France 24 said the voting took place on November 3. It reported Democrats won in Republican strongholds for the first time in generations. The outlets described the result as a rebuke of President Donald Trump.
The Fox News Voter Poll put Trump's job approval at 38%. Fox said inflation, tariffs and the Iran war drove the Democratic wins in the House and Senate. A second Fox report cited Trump's approval, inflation and gas prices as factors that hurt Republican Senate candidates. It said Democrats flipped Senate seats in both red and blue states.
The reports did not give final seat counts or margins.
