Democrats Win Control of Congress in Election Landslide

According to The Guardian UK, Democrats flipped seven Senate seats in Kansas, Iowa, Texas, Maine, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina, and won control of Congress in a 'blue wave'. TVC News reported that Democrats won full control of the US Congress in a sweeping midterm rout, taking both the House and Senate. Bloomberg Politics reported that Democrats won both chambers in a landslide that it described as a rejection of President Donald Trump, citing voter discontent with the economy and the war in Iran. NDTV reported on the implications for India, noting that the US is a major market for Indian goods and that tariff shifts would affect exporters.
