Democrats Take Control of Senate, Major Setback for Trump

The Democratic Party has taken control of the Senate in the US midterm elections. Democratic candidates have won seats previously held by Republicans in Texas, South Carolina, Iowa, and Kansas. With this development, President Donald Trump’s Republican Party has lost its majority in the upper house of Congress.

This information was reported by Qatar-based news agency Al Jazeera on Wednesday (November 4).

The report stated that Democrats have secured control of the Senate after vote counting in various US states. Results have been progressively released since polling concluded on Tuesday. However, the final outcome for some electoral seats may require waiting until Wednesday or even later.
