US midterms: 5 takeaways as Democrats sweep Congress, Trump…

A Democratic victory that reached from Texas to Kansas changed the terms of Donald Trump’s final two years in office. When the new US Congress convenes in January, Democrats will control both chambers. They can block his legislation, challenge spending on the war in Iran and scrutinise the deals he strikes with Beijing. The day after his party lost control of Congress, Trump invited reporters to the construction site of his new White House ballroom to watch workers raise the final steel...

Who won in China? In the US midterms, Susan Collins and the…

Republican Senator Susan Collins won in China on Tuesday. So did the volunteer firefighters. Voters in several small American communities with China in their names cast ballots in Tuesday’s US midterm elections. Their local contests had little to do with Beijing and a great deal to do with fire engines, budgets and paving. In China, a lakeside town in northeastern Maine, Collins outpolled Democrat Troy Jackson by 1,333 votes to 871, according to the town’s general election return. Statewide,...

Republicans face prospect of ‘civil war’ as Trump’s aura st…

In the weeks leading up to the midterm elections, US President Donald Trump displayed unwavering confidence in his star power, urging supporters to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”. But Tuesday night’s disastrous results for the Republicans – the first time in 20 years both houses of Congress have changed hands at the same time – have punctured the aura of invincibility that once shielded Trump and allowed him to keep potential critics in line with the threat that opposing him...

Who is Haley Stevens’ controversial fiancé, Jason Turkish?

Michigan congresswoman Haley Stevens made a shocking decision to flip her endorsement from fellow Democrat Abdul El-Sayed to Republican Mike Rogers, two days before the November 3 US midterm election. She said backing El-Sayed “would have been living a lie”, adding that he had barred her from campaigning with him after they clashed over Israel – conduct she called unacceptable for a senator. With her decision to back Rogers, Stevens said she was speaking on behalf of those furious about...

Abdul El-Sayed is one of the most talked-about Senate nominees in the 2026 US midterm elections. The 42-year-old Michigan Democrat, endorsed by Barack Obama, is running against Republican Mike Rogers, 63, and the outcome could decide which party will hold power in the US Senate. The high-stakes race has also drawn the attention of US President Donald Trump, who has been backing Rogers while repeatedly attacking El-Sayed over his Muslim faith. At a recent rally in Port Huron, Michigan, the Maga...

Trump ends midterm campaign calling Democratic candidates ‘…

US President Donald Trump ended the midterm campaign season on Monday by calling the Democratic Party’s candidates the “most extreme and dangerous” in American history, the day before voters decide which party controls Congress. Speaking at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, which reopened after a renovation by his administration, Trump called the elections “the most important midterm, I believe, in our lifetime”. “These are the most dangerous candidates ever put up,” he...
