Democratic Party wins US midterm elections

The Democratic Party in the United States has won a majority in both houses of Congress in the midterm elections, as reported this morning by the Jerusalem Post and the Hungarian news portal Portfolio.hu. According to the reports, the sweeping Democratic victory is seen as a vote of no confidence in President Donald Trump, who distanced himself from personal responsibility for the results and claimed that Republican candidates failed in their campaigns. International markets reacted to the political shifts with initial volatility, partly due to concerns regarding stricter regulations on technology firms. Further details on the impact of the new political balance on American policy have not yet been released.
