Democrats captured both chambers of Congress in last week's midterm elections, sweeping through Republican strongholds in a backlash against President Donald Trump, Caixin reported in a dispatch datelined Kansas City and Beijing and published on November 10, 2026.
The report described the outcome as a wave of discontent against Trump but gave no seat counts, no vote totals and no date for the election beyond "last week." It did not name individual winning candidates or state margins in any district or state.
