Democrats snatch 4 Senate seats from Republicans in the states of South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas and Ohio, in stunning gains in traditional Republican strongholds, according to Reuters. Texas and Ohio are voting for Democratic candidates even though US President Donald Trump won them by more than 10 percentage points in the 2024 election. The Democrats are on the verge of a majority in the Senate provided they keep the seats of Michigan and Minnesota, while the estimates of the American media indicate that they will win the House of Representatives after taking at least 8 Republican seats. Public opinion polls show that half of the voters see the election as an opportunity to reprimand Trump, amid dissatisfaction with the cost of living and the consequences of the war on Iran.
