Democrats take Congress in historic win
NBC News projects Democrats have won control of the House and Senate in the midterms. NBC News’ Ryan Nobles reports.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as a Democratic midterm sweep that leaves Trump facing a more difficult political environment, with Reuters and 60 Minutes focusing on his first post-election appearance and remarks. The Guardian US is the only outlet here to foreground his personal finances, saying his wealth was dented, while France 24 leans more on explanations for the Republican defeat and on how Trump will work with Democrats. South China Morning Post adds a “takeaways” format and highlights scrutiny of Iran-related spending and deals.
