Democrats take control of US Congress, dealing major blow to Trump and Republicans

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as a live midterm-election update with Trump’s agenda and control of the House and Senate at the center. The South China Morning Post headline focuses on Trump’s fate being in balance as the House and Senate are up for grabs, while The Independent similarly stresses that his agenda is at stake in the final hours of voting. The Independent alone mentions reported voting issues in Florida, New York and North Carolina.
