Ask what Korea is talking about.

Democrats seized control of both the Senate and House in Tuesday's US midterm elections, scoring sweeping victories in Republican strongholds for the first time in generations, the Korea Times reports. Yonhap describes the result as a 'blue tsunami' (블루 쓰나미) with Democrats winning both chambers. President Donald Trump said he will accept the results, though he quickly sought to shift blame for the rout to fellow Republicans, according to the Korea Times. Analysts cited by the Korea Times say the Democratic sweep makes a summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un even less likely. Korean media coverage focuses on the scale of the Democratic victory and its implications for US policy, including AI investment and the pace of executive action, as Yonhap notes the election outcome adds variables for Washington's approach to Korea and tech sectors.
