## Key points

- Democrats won sweeping midterm gains across the country.
- Voters rejected Trump’s Maga movement amid broad discontent.
- The results give Democrats a chance to hold his administration accountable.

## Summary

Democrats achieved sweeping gains in the midterms, winning across the party’s ideological factions and overturning Republican control in both chambers of Congress, several governorships and state legislatures. The results amount to a broad rejection of Donald Trump’s Maga movement and give Democrats new opportunities to scrutinise his administration and demonstrate they can govern.

The article links the scale of the wins to voter anger over the Iran war and rising prices, tariffs, healthcare cuts, deportations and corruption. Democrats made gains in Republican strongholds, including Senate victories in Kansas and South Carolina, a Democratic win in Texas and a series of victories in Iowa; in Maine, voters ousted a long-serving senator despite controversy around the Democratic candidate. The article says candidates’ town halls and engagement with disillusioned voters helped turn that dissatisfaction into votes.
