> Democrats won both the Senate and the House in a nationwide rebuke of President Donald Trump, flipping seats long held by Republicans and securing a series of historic firsts. Their gains are expected to constrain Trump during the final two years of his term and give Democrats power to block legislation, investigate his administration and challenge appointments. Anger over living costs, tariffs and fuel-price increases linked to Trump’s confrontation with Iran helped drive the result.
