The U.S. midterm elections have made history.
Democrats have taken control of both the U.S. House and Senate, and some of the results are almost unbelievable.
Here's what happened:
1. Democrats flipped 6 Senate seats and 15 House seats, marking their largest Senate net gain since 2008.
2. Kansas elected Adam Hamilton, its first Democratic U.S. senator in 94 YEARS, defeating Republican Roger Marshall.
3. Texas elected James Talarico to the Senate, its first Democratic Senate victory since 1988, defeating Trump-backed Ken Paxton.
4. Abdul El-Sayed won the Michigan Senate race, becoming the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate.
5. Gina Hinojosa defeated Republican Greg Abbott, becoming Texas' first Democratic governor in more than 30 YEARS and its first Latina governor.
6. Democrats also flipped Senate seats in Ohio, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Iowa, including Sherrod Brown's comeback victory in Ohio.
7. Xavier Becerra defeated Steve Hilton to become California's first Latino governor since 1875.
8. Texas turned blue as Democrats swept all five major statewide races for the first time in decades.
9. Democrats made major gains in traditionally Republican states, including Texas, Kansas, South Carolina and Iowa, where Trump had won comfortably in 2024.
The biggest issue for voters was the cost of living.
High fuel prices, the Iran war and growing frustration over the economy played a major role in the results.
This is one of the biggest shifts in American politics since the 2006 midterms.
"My name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, and I am so proud and honored to stand here as your Senator-elect from the great state of Michigan. Up until right about now, you might have noticed I always say 'Inshallah' or 'God willing' whenever the outcome of this race was mentioned. But today, tonight, we can turn that 'Inshallah' into a 'Alhamdulillah!'"
