Anthony Zurcher: Democrats tear up Trump's political map with historic midterm victories

Democrats scored a string of Senate victories in states that had long been reliably Republican, including Texas, Kansas, Ohio, Iowa and both Carolinas. They regained a Senate majority and secured decisive control of the House, giving them the power to frustrate Donald Trump's agenda and investigate his administration. In Kansas, Adam Hamilton won a Senate seat not held by a Democrat for nearly a century, while James Talarico defeated Ken Paxton in Texas, ending a 38-year Democratic losing streak in the race. Trump said he wanted to make deals with congressional Democrats, but later posted an image of his red cap emblazoned with the word “veto.”
