Will US midterm results lead to disruption in Washington’s ties with China?
What happened
Democrats have flipped both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections, ending the Republican hold on power in Washington, according to DW, which follows Associated Press race calls.
In the House of Representatives, they crossed the 218-seat mark needed for control.
A survey of almost 80,000 verified voters shows Republican support fell in every demographic group compared with the November 2022 midterms.
White men still leaned Republican, at 55%, down from 60%; Republican support among white women dropped from 56% to 47%.
The Hindu reports that Trump will face limits on both domestic and foreign policy, and that he linked part of the losses to the war with Iran.
