WIPEOUT: GOP LOSES HOUSE AND SENATE
Axios · Herb Scribner ·
The results will be the clearest national test of Trump's second presidency.
Republicans lost deep-red Senate seats in South Carolina, Kansas and Texas as well as House seats nationwide, AP projects, giving Democrats control of both chambers of Congress.
Why it matters: President Trump made himself the face of the GOP campaign for control. Now his party is losing all over the map, and he's distancing himself from the outcome.
Former President Obama wrote on X: "Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face."
