Democrats have officially won control of both the House and the Senate in the US midterm elections, securing 54 Senate seats and taking the majority by securing 225 seats in the House of Representatives

The results give Democrats the power to block Trump's legislative agenda during the final two years of his presidency. Voters delivered a sharp rebuke over rising living costs, tariffs and the war against Iran, which has driven fuel prices higher.
