US media predicts that the Democratic Party will win more than expected in many states, setting off a "blue wave" in the US midterm elections

China News Service, November 4. According to a report by the US "Wall Street Journal" on the evening of the 3rd local time, as a "blue wave" swept across the United States, Democrats achieved major victories in the midterm elections one after another.

According to forecasts from many US media outlets including the Associated Press, the Democratic Party has seized Senate seats in Texas, South Carolina and North Carolina from Republicans, and retained Senate seats in Georgia and New Hampshire. The report pointed out that the Republican Party is increasingly pessimistic about the prospects of retaining control of Congress.

According to US media estimates, in Texas, Democrat James Talarico secured victory in the key Senate race, defeating Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton, ending the Republican Party's thirty-year electoral monopoly in this "deep red state". In a stunning reversal in the red state of South Carolina, Republican Senator Darlene Graham, who was endorsed by US President Donald Trump, lost to Democrat Anne Andrews. In North Carolina, the state's former governor, Democrat Roy Cooper, won the seat vacated by outgoing Republican Sen. Thom Tillis.

US media also predicts that in Georgia, Democratic incumbent Senator Jon Ossoff, one of the most outspoken critics of US President Trump, will defeat Republican challenger Mike Collins. Rep. Chris Pappas, the Democratic candidate running for the New Hampshire Senate seat, defeated Republican John E. Sununu, helping Democrats retain a key seat in the fight for control of the Senate.
