WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, delivering a decisive rebuke of Republican governance in Washington and ushering in a new era of congressional resistance to President Donald Trump. Michigan progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed became the latest in his party to win. Tuesday’s midterm elections laid bare voters’ deep frustration with high prices, the war in Iran and concerns about government corruption. Democrats routed their rivals across the map, flipping states that have voted Republican for decades and that Trump won by double digits just two years ago. Democratic control will profoundly reshape Trump’s final two years in office and likely hamstring his ability to push his agenda.
