Democrats capture the House, sealing a decisive rebuke to Trump and the GOP

Democrats have captured the U.S. House, adding it to the Senate majority they already claimed. According to AP, the double win amounts to a shockingly decisive rebuke of Republican governance in Washington. With it, Democrats now control both chambers of Congress.

The House was the final piece. Republicans had run Washington; now they've lost their grip on Capitol Hill, and the scale of the defeat is what's raising eyebrows. AP didn't hedge — it called the outcome decisive.

The result ushers in what AP describes as a new era of congressional resistance to President Donald Trump. A Democratic House and Senate can block, investigate and slow the White House in ways a Republican-controlled Congress never would. Expect confrontation rather than cooperation.

AP is publishing live results as the count moves. The sweep stands as one of the sharpest verdicts voters have handed down on Republican rule in the Trump era.
