Blue Tsunami The mid-term elections in the United States turned into a complete defeat for Trump. Democrats won both houses of Congress, most governorships and even Texas. In the Senate, Democrats now have 54 seats, Republicans 44. Before the election it was 47 to 53. The Democrats took seven seats from the Republicans: in Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Maine and two Carolinas. Two more states, Alaska and Mississippi, are still being counted. There the gap is minimal, and the result can reach 56:44. The House of Representatives declared victories for Democrats in 242 districts, for Republicans in 151. Another 42 seats have yet to be distributed. NBC estimates that Democrats will end up with at least 259 of the 435 seats. Before the election, Republicans held a majority by several votes. Gubernatorial elections were held in 36 states. The Democrats took Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Nevada and Iowa from the Republicans. The result is 28 governorships for Democrats and 20 for Republicans. Democrats won the majority of governorships for the first time in 16 years.
