00:00It has been a devastation in that sense for Donald Trump. The red wall that he had tried to build,
00:05the MAGA coalition that Rohit spoke about, has been totally breached, with Democrats making significant gains across the country, winning
00:13in Texas after 30 years, winning in Kansas after a century.
00:17And as a result, they flipped both houses of the Congress and the House of Representatives. Donald Trump has reacted
00:26to the results, first questioning the outcome, eventually acknowledging it and expressing a willingness to work with Democrats.
00:34Can we expect Donald Trump, though, to course correct? That's going to be my talking point with some experts joining
00:39me. But first, take a look at a dramatic day in U.S. politics.
00:52America is angry with Donald Trump. A blue tsunami has sunk Republicans in a stunning reversal from 2024 presidential elections.
01:02Democrats reached the MAGA heartland on Wednesday, flipping seven Senate seats, wrestling control of both houses of Congress.
01:10The scale of victory surprised the Democrats even more than it shocked the Republicans. Just look at the scale.
01:21James Talarico won the Texas Senate seat for Democrats, their first win since 1994.
01:28We just took back Texas. We just proved that all the money in the world is no match for the
01:36people of Texas. We just showed that a politics of division is no match for a politics of love.
01:49Even bigger is the verdict from Kansas, where Adam Hamilton won Democrats their first Senate seat since 1932.
01:57The last Democrat to win Kansas was George S. McGill, who was born in 1879.
02:07The fiercely contested Michigan was won by Abdul Al-Sayed, who becomes the first Muslim to be elected to Senate.
02:14His wife Sarah is an American of Indian origin.
02:22There is this delicious irony in the fact that you're constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January.
02:34The message is clear. Rising cost of living and West Asia war played on the American voters' mind.
02:43President Donald Trump's reactions ranged from defiance to acceptance.
02:48He posted a message on Truth Social claiming the results would have been different had he been on the ballot.
02:54He then posted a photo of a cab, which read Veto.
02:58And finally, he gave interviews to American television channels and newspapers, accepting the results and saying he looks forward to
03:05working with the Democrats.
03:11Donald Trump will not have a cakewalk anymore. His agenda will be contested by the Congress.
03:16But will he be a lame duck president?
03:19Once thing is certain, with Trump, you can expect the unexpected.
