From Fox News:
Democrats decisively recaptured majorities in the House and Senate in the midterm elections, riding a blue wave that exceeded expectations.
But with Tuesday turning into Wednesday and a handful of high-profile races still to be called, the big question remaining is whether the already formidable Democratic congressional majorities keep growing. In the battle for the Senate, Democrats stormed to the majority by flipping GOP-held seats in Maine, Ohio, Kansas, Iowa, Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina, while successfully defending open seats in Michigan and New Hampshire. Meanwhile, Senate races for two GOP-held seats were still too close to call.
From AP:
Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, delivering a decisive rebuke of Republican governance in Washington and ushering in a new era of congressional resistance to President Donald Trump.
Tuesday’s midterm elections laid bare voters’ deep frustrations over high prices, the Iran war and concerns over government corruption. Democrats routed their rivals across the map, flipping states that have voted Republican for decades and that Trump won by double digits just two years ago. That includes James Talarico’s stunning Senate victory in Texas, where no Democrat had won statewide office in more than 30 years, and Annie Andrews’ upset victory over Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina. Trump had thrown his full weight behind both losing candidates. In Michigan, progressive Abdul El-Sayed — one of a crop of left-wing candidates who prevailed in Democratic primaries — topped Republican Mike Rogers. Even Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a battle-tested survivor of difficult elections, lost to Democrat Troy Jackson.
From The New York Times:
Democrats won control of the Senate and the House as voters delivered a blistering rebuke to President Trump in a midterm rout that reset the balance of power in Washington. The romp stretched from coast to coast and into the early hours of Wednesday, with Democrats flipping seats that had spent decades in Republican hands and taking House districts that had long seemed inaccessible.
Mr. Trump told The New York Times in an interview that he was “absolutely willing to accept those results” and was prepared to work with Democrats. Voters swept out Republican candidates who tethered themselves to Mr. Trump and those who sought a modicum of independence from him. Democrats flipped Senate seats in Maine, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and even Texas, according to The Associated Press. The outcome of the midterm elections is the first national mandate on Mr. Trump’s second term. The results showed what polls have indicated for months — that voters are supremely dissatisfied with the president and Republicans who have backed his agenda.
