> CNN projects that Democrats will win control of both the House and Senate in a resounding, historic victory. They rode President Donald Trump’s record unpopularity to a major win and significant power to check his final two years in office. James Talarico is expected to take a Texas Senate seat Democrats have missed for 38 years; Adam Hamilton will win in deep-red Kansas, and Annie Andrews will replace South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham.
