Democrats aim to retake Senate from Republicans as Americans go to polls

Democrats have seized control of the U.S. House from Republicans after four years in the minority, initiating a period of divided government. This shift is expected to obstruct President Trump's legislative agenda. Simultaneously, Democrats are attempting to retake the US Senate, leveraging voter dissatisfaction with Donald Trump to challenge the slim Republican majority. Early results indicate Democratic incumbent Mark Warner has won the Virginia Senate election, as the party seeks to regain control of Congress.
