Democrats Win House In Setback For Trump

The Democrats have taken control of the US House of Representatives in the mid-term elections, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump.

A Democratic majority in the lower chamber for the first time in eight years will restrict his ability to steer his programme through Congress.

But Mr Trump's Republicans are set to strengthen their grip on the Senate.

The election confirms a historical trend for the party that is not in the White House to make gains in the mid-terms.
