The U.S. Democratic Party, which has taken control of Congress, also overtakes the 'large opposition party' of 260 seats in the House of Representatives for the first time in 35 years.

The US Democratic Party is expected to secure 253 seats in the House of Representatives in the November 3 midterm elections, becoming a major opposition party with close to 260 seats. It is the largest ever victory, surpassing the 257 seats achieved in 2008, and falls short of the super majority that would neutralize President Trump's veto.

After the crushing defeat in the U.S. midterm elections, Assistant Attorney General John Eisenberg of the Justice Department's National Security Division, Federal Prosecutor Jason Quiñones, and Assistant Attorney General Harmit Dillon of the Civil Rights Division resigned.
