US President Trump's Republican Party lost yesterday's midterm elections, with the Democrats winning control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The White House posted on the social platform X that Trump "is still your president."

In the U.S. midterm elections in November 2026, the Republican Party suffered heavy setbacks due to high inflation, soaring living costs, and the oil price crisis caused by the Iran war. Despite strong overall economic data, voters are extremely dissatisfied with the Trump administration's economic and tariff policies.

Democrat Richard Pan defeated incumbent Kevin Kiley in California's 6th Congressional District, bringing the total number of lawmakers of Chinese descent in the upcoming 120th Congress to a record six.

As Democrats look to take back the House of Representatives, Minority Leader Jeff Reese is expected to become the first African-American House Speaker in U.S. history. He plans to take a tough supervisory stance against the Trump administration and push for tax reform and basic wage increases, while facing balancing challenges from moderates and radicals in the party.

In the U.S. Senate race in the midterm elections, the Democratic Party flipped at least 7 seats and regained control. Voter dissatisfaction with prices, war and corruption has hit the Republican Party hard. Trump said he would use his veto power to deal with the Democratic-dominated Congress, and Senate Democratic leader Schumer called this a generational reshaping.

Democrats won both houses of Congress in the midterm elections, fueling expectations of tighter scrutiny of AI and data centres, with implications for US global AI trade and the technology rivalry with China, analysts said.
