US Midterm Elections: Republicans Lose House and Senate Control

Aaj Tak · politics

Republicans have suffered a significant setback in the US midterm elections, losing control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate to the Democrats. This outcome marks a major political blow to President Donald Trump, whose party previously held a majority in both chambers. Trump attributed the loss to five factors: the Iran war and resulting inflation, his own absence from the ballot, weak Republican candidates, Fox News giving too much airtime to opponents, and strong Democratic campaigning.
