The Democratic Party is on track to secure control of both houses of the US Congress, according to projections from international outlets including CBS News. This political shift, occurring during the midterm elections, is expected to transfer leadership of the House of Representatives to Hakeem Jeffries, as reported by the Jerusalem Post and BBC Russian.

In response to the results, President Donald Trump stated he is prepared to work with the new Democratic majority, though he emphasized he does not take personal responsibility for the Republican Party's failures, noting that his name was not on the ballot. Meanwhile, financial markets are reacting cautiously to the shifting balance of power. Further details have not yet been released.
