Democrats have taken majorities in both houses of the US Congress, according to the ALMARSAD Breaking News service, which operates via WhatsApp.
According to the same service, the US midterm elections were held on 3 November 2026. Republicans lost control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the elections.
The information has not been verified by an independent source. It comes from a single source, and the text reviewed does not name an official body or a primary source for it.
The service believes Democrats benefited from declining support for the policies of President Donald Trump. It adds that this came amid public anger over the war with Iran and rising living costs and prices. This is the source's assessment of the reasons for the outcome, not information attributed to an official body.
The service also says the war did not topple the regime in Tehran.
The service believes that in the second half of his term, Trump will face a Congress controlled by the Democratic opposition. It says this increases the Democrats' ability to obstruct his legislative agenda and hold his administration to account.
The available text does not include the exact number of seats each party won in either chamber, or turnout figures. It also does not include the steps the Democrats or Trump will take following the results.
