NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 4 – Democrats have reclaimed control of the United States Senate after scoring a series of major victories in traditionally Republican strongholds, delivering a significant setback to President Donald Trump and his Republican Party.
The Associated Press projected that Democrats had secured enough victories in Tuesday’s midterm elections to take control of the Senate, ending Republican dominance of the upper chamber and setting the stage for increased congressional opposition to Trump’s administration.
Among the notable victories was Democrat James Talarico’s defeat of Republican Ken Paxton in Texas, marking a major breakthrough in a state that has long been a Republican stronghold.
