Democrats won majorities in both the US House of Representatives and Senate in the midterm elections, according to projections by US media. The results ended the Republicans’ control of both chambers and included Democratic Senate gains in states including Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina. Several reports also said Democrats won the Texas governorship. President Donald Trump said he was surprised by the Republican defeat and acknowledged that the war in Iran may have played a role. He said he would use his veto power now that Democrats appear to control both chambers. Earlier, he had said Republicans would have won had he been on the ballot.
