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.
