The Democrats sweep the House, the Senate after flipping across the US in a historic result; the country by 22 percentage points. Democrats dropped eight seats in the Republican-controlled Senate, twice the four-seat net gain they needed to take control of the chamber. The Democrats who flipped those seats were Roy Cooper, Annie Andrews, Sherrod Brown, Adam Hamilton, Abdul El-Sayed, Troy Jackson, James Talarico and Josh Turk. The blue wave reflected voters' deep frustration with Trump's treatment In the economy and his decision to start a war against Iran, which sharply increased gasoline prices, Trump said he would accept the midterm results, blaming the Republican losses on the fact that he was not on the ballot.
