Democrats redraw US electoral map with resounding win
Propelled by frustration over inflation — made worse by the Iran war driving up fuel prices — Democrats took both houses of Congress. Democrats won resounding US midterm election victories that redrew the electoral map and reshaped the policy agenda, sharply curtailing President Donald Trump’s power. Propelled by frustration over inflation — made worse by the Iran war driving up fuel prices — Democrats took both houses of Congress, tallying remarkable successes along the way including Senate seats in Texas and Kansas, a GOP state since 1932; a bigger-than-expected House of Representatives majority; and the country’s first Muslim senator and first Black female governor of Georgia. “Trump has been forced to face his political mortality,” a leading journalist wrote in The Atlantic. “He asked voters to make these midterm elections a referendum on him … They listened — and then rejected him.”
