Multiple U.S. outlets project that Democrats will gain control of both chambers of Congress. ABC News projects Democrats will win enough seats to control the House and will also take control of the Senate. CBS News projects Democrats will control the Senate in addition to the House, and NBC News projects Democrats will secure full control of Congress by winning both the House and Senate, effective in January.
The outlets differ mainly in how they phrase the status and implications of the projections, but they converge on the same outcome: Democratic control of the Senate and the House. CBS News also highlights a conversation with President Trump, while NBC News focuses more on an explainer describing how Democrats secured control of the Senate. Taken together, the reports frame the development as a shift in congressional leadership coming after the midterm election results.
