Democrats close in on US House, make gains in Senate
What happened
Democrats won the Senate in the US midterm elections, flipping seats in Republican strongholds including Texas, Kansas and South Carolina, according to Arab Times.
On the House, the sources differ: Rappler and VnExpress say Democrats took it, while Arab Times says control was still undecided as counting continued.
Kansas elected Democrat Adam Hamilton, a Methodist minister who beat Republican incumbent Roger Marshall, the first Democratic senator from the state since 1932, VnExpress reported.
In Texas, Democrats won a Senate seat, and Gina Hinojosa unseated Republican governor Greg Abbott.
The sources disagree on the Senate count: VnExpress reports a six-seat Democratic gain, while Arab Times cites the Associated Press as confirming five at its latest update.
Trump told The New York Times he is willing to accept the results and work with Democrats, then posted an image of a red cap reading "VETO".
“There is now a generational remake of the Senate map that is going to change America”
