Democratic Party overturns Republicans' control in the Senate and Congress

Tuesday’s midterm elections have sent shockwaves through the Republican Party and the White House, with President Donald Trump moving to replace his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, while Secretary of War Pete Hegseth faces the threat of impeachment. The Democrats posted a historic performance, securing 254 seats in the House of Representatives against 162 for the Republicans, with 19 races yet to be called. In the Senate, Democrats captured 54 seats against 44 for the Republicans, with Alaska and Mississippi still undeclared. They also secured a majority of governorships, flipping traditionally Republican strongholds including Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio and Nevada.
