BBC World Service - World Update, US Mid-Terms: Democrats Win The House

Republicans lose the House of Representatives but consolidate their hold of the Senate

The Democrats have taken control of the US House of Representatives in the mid-term elections, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump.

Tuesday's vote was seen as a referendum on a polarising president, and confirms a historical trend for the party that is not in the White House to make gains in the mid-terms.
