Democrats Win Several Key Races in US Midterm Elections as Vote Counting Continues
In the US midterm elections, which will decide control of both chambers of Congress, the Democratic Party has won several important races and improved its chances of taking a Senate majority. Vote counting is still under way.

The Democratic Party has secured several significant victories in the United States midterm elections, which will determine who controls both chambers of Congress. The results improve the Democrats' prospects of winning a majority in the Senate, one of those two chambers. The outcome matters because it is being treated as an assessment of President Donald Trump's second term in office.
Trump's Republican political camp now faces a serious challenge. Vote counting is still continuing, so the final balance of power in Congress is not yet known.
During the election period, Trump also criticised the US television network Fox News. The source does not give details of what exactly he objected to.
