US midterm elections: Democrats win Congress

Democrats won the US midterm elections and took control of both chambers of Congress. In the BBC’s partial results, they secured 54 Senate seats, a gain of seven, and 237 House seats, a gain of 29. Donald Trump said the Iran war was “largely” to blame for Republican losses, but said he would do it again; Vice-President JD Vance had also cited the war as the reason for the defeat.
