Democrats win full control of Congress, ushering in a new era of divided government
The victories in the House and Senate return Democrats to full control of Congress for the first time since 2023 and deepens the level of expected friction between them and President Trump.
Democrats won control of the US Senate in the Nov. 4 midterm elections, according to NPR and WGAL, which reported that the party flipped seats. NPR reported that Chuck Schumer described the Senate’s change as a generational remake, while Fox News said he expects to be re-elected majority leader despite opposition from five newly elected Democratic senators. Hindustan Times said progressives had put differences aside to win, while Breitbart reported that Peggy Flanagan called for Schumer to be replaced.
