Americans voted in the midterm elections yesterday, which were widely seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump. The Democrats emerged victorious in the House of Representatives, where they wrestled majority control winning 222 out of 435 seats. However the Republicans retained control of the Senate, holding 51 seats to the Democrats' 48.
