Democrats win US Congress in 'blue wave' as voters reject Trump's agenda

It was a night when the political shocks kept coming. One after another, Democrats won victory after victory. What appears on the face of it to be a stunning rebuke of Republican control in Washington. The biggest prize for the Democrats, huge wins in Texas, formerly a reliably Republican state. James Tallarico won the Senate, Gina Hinojosa unseating the long-term governor Greg Abbott. We just showed that a politics of division is no match for a politics of love. The most surprising victory in Kansas. Roger Marshall lost his seat to religious minister Adam Hamilton, the first Democrat to represent the state in the Senate since 1939. But this was a night where the good news for the Democrats never seemed to end. They expected to win the House, and they did. In January next year, Hakeem Jeffries will almost certainly be the new Speaker of the House. House Democrats are committed to fighting for an affordable America. We will fight hard to lower the high cost of housing and groceries and gas. We're going to fight hard to make sure that we can ensure that every single American can afford to go see a doctor when they need one. And then came the Senate. Celebrations in places thought to be close, but it wasn't. It was a huge upset. Even in the final days, Republicans believed they would still control the Senate. Donald Trump campaigned long and hard, more than 30 rallies in just over 30 days. It wasn't enough. It wasn't nearly enough. As the picture of the evening became clear, he took to social media, insisting he wasn't to blame. I wasn't on the ballot, and if I was, we'd have won in a landslide. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Trump says he will work with Democrats, but veto anything he considers crazy. The soon-to-be former Speaker Mike Johnson says that Republicans' new role will be to resist. The battle for our country, that battle against this insurgent socialist movement, and the battle to restore American greatness, none of that is over in any way. In fact, I'm going to tell you right now, that fight has just begun for our generation. We will win that fight for America. Donald Trump still has a lot of power. He is the president after all. And he believes with executive orders and court backing, he can redraw the parameters of the U.S. presidency. The new Congress will be seated in January, which gives him just two months to cement his agenda before he faces a very hostile Congress. Alan Fisher, Al Jazeera, on Capitol Hill.
