What the coverage shows

Across the coverage, every outlet centers on Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress, and several describe it as a sweeping or historic result. Reuters, AP, BBC, CBS, and ABC mostly stick to the projections and the shift in control, while the Los Angeles Times, NBC, The Guardian US, and South China Morning Post more explicitly foreground the result as a rebuke to Trump. Only a few extracts add extra framing: CBS and Al Jazeera mention the legislative or oversight consequences, and CNBC uniquely ties the political result to market moves.
