The Democratic Party in the United States is expected to secure a majority in both houses of Congress following the midterm election results, as reported by Bloomberg and Cointelegraph. The Democratic gains are attributed in part to fatigue with President Donald Trump, alongside the impacts of inflation and the war with Iran on voters. Among the notable victories, Democratic candidate El-Sayed won a U.S. Senate seat representing Michigan after defeating Republican challenger Mike Rogers.

In response to the results, President Trump expressed surprise at his party's failure and placed the blame on Republican candidates. He stated that he could not transfer his support to them as expected during the campaign. Further details have not yet been released.
