United States: Donald Trump loses Congress as America defeats the 47th president

Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, winning 224 seats to Republicans’ 211 in the House of Representatives and securing 51 seats in the Senate. Donald Trump remains president and retains his veto power, but a hostile Congress is expected to stall his legislative agenda. Democrats, who will lead congressional committees, are preparing investigations into the administration and the president’s affairs. Key states including Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona swung to the Democrats.
