With Democrats set to take control of both chambers of the US Congress following Tuesday's midterm elections, US House Speaker Mike Johnson said Republicans knew it would be difficult to defy more than a century of midterm election history and retain their majority. He noted that only twice in the past 90 years has a sitting president's party gained or held seats in the first two years of a presidency, adding that "history will be kept tonight."
