Democrats are projected to take control of both chambers of Congress after a wave of victories in traditionally Republican strongholds, setting up a major political confrontation with President Donald Trump during his final two years in office.
Democrats are projected to seize control of the United States Congress after securing majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, dealing a significant setback to President Donald Trump and his Republican Party.
The victories will give Democrats control of the legislative branch from January, allowing them to exert greater influence over lawmaking, scrutinise the administration’s policies and launch congressional investigations into members of Trump’s government.
