In the US mid-term elections on November 3, the Democratic Party unleashed a "blue tsunami", regaining control of both houses of Congress, successively blowing traditionally red states such as Texas and Kansas. Texas last elected a Democratic US senator in 1988, and Kansas in 1932, nearly a century ago. As of noon on the 4th, Eastern time, the Democratic Party and the two independent members associated with it won a total of 54 seats, and the House of Representatives exceeded the majority threshold of 228 seats. These elections will also set a number of historical records: there will be at least 17 female governors in the new term, the number of Democratic representatives in the House of Representatives will exceed 100 for the first time, and for the first time in the United States, five African-American governors will serve simultaneously. In the remaining two years of his term, Trump will be subject to scrutiny and investigation by the Democratic majority in Congress, which will limit his budget and personnel appointment powers. On election night, Trump initially tried to disavow responsibility, saying: "If I had run, we would have won big." However, Trump later admitted that the war with Iran was one of the reasons for his defeat, and voters were not happy with rising oil prices. But he still defended his decision to go to war and said he wouldn't change it if he had to do it again. Click the link to read the full text.
