Democrats have secured a majority in the House of Representatives in the US midterm elections, while their chances of also winning the Senate appeared strong as the results came in. The developing outcome suggested that voters were looking for a change in direction.
Before the polls closed, the central question was how large a Democratic victory would be. Recent polls pointed to more than a narrow win, but polling organizations had been wrong before, including by underestimating support for Donald Trump. The results on election night increasingly indicated a broad shift toward The Democrats.
