Watch as The Independent’s White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg explains why Donald Trump has only himself to blame for a brutal midterm election night

Democrats are projected to take back control of both the House and the Senate after a series of major wins dubbed a “Blue Tsunami”.

Trump has responded to the results so far. Speaking by phone to Fox News, the president deflected blame for his party’s losses onto lackluster Republican candidates, some of whom lost even in GOP strongholds such as Texas and South Carolina.

This is a breaking news story and more results are expected throughout the night.
