Democrats have won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections, and a Senate majority for the party is also likely, according to POLITICO editor-in-chief Helge Fuhst reporting from Washington. The result marks a sharp rebuke for Republicans under President Donald Trump, who has already responded combatively. A Democratic House majority would give the party power to block Trump's legislative agenda and launch congressional investigations. The outcome also carries implications for U.S. domestic and foreign policy. What to watch next is whether Democrats complete a Senate takeover and how Trump and Republican leaders respond to divided government.
