Donald Trump humiliated in US midterms as Democrats seize control of Congress
Trump responded to the rout with a desperate reminder of his power to veto the Democrats’ ability to legislate, as JD Vance squarely placed the blame on the Iran war
ABC News
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the scale of the Democratic win, with headlines and extracts saying Democrats took the House and Senate or otherwise gained full control of Congress, and several foreground Trump as the loser of the midterms. The Guardian US and Los Angeles Times also emphasize plans to investigate or rein in Trump, while BBC News, Reuters, The Hill and 60 Minutes focus instead on Trump’s post-election response and remarks. A few outlets add their own angle: ABC News and New York Times note market movement, and South China Morning Post highlights the implications for Trump’s final two years.
