Democrats sweep US Congress in midterm rebuke to Trump

Democrats captured majorities in both the Senate and House in Tuesday's U.S. midterm elections, scoring sweeping victories that reached deep into Republican strongholds, according to the Korea Times. President Donald Trump said he would accept the results but sought to shift blame to fellow Republicans. Analysts say the Democratic sweep dims prospects for a summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Korean stocks face fresh policy uncertainty, while the won is expected to strengthen against the dollar, the Korea Times reports. KBS World notes major U.S. networks project Democratic majorities in both chambers, with some describing the outcome as a wipe-out.
