US Midterms: Trump Loses Control of House of Representatives

President Trump is facing new limits on his power after the Democrats won control of the House of Representatives in the US mid-term elections.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, who is set to become speaker, promised that her party would serve as a counterweight to the White House. Republicans won seats in the Senate to increase their majority meaning that President Trump can still make key appointments.

The vote was seen as a referendum on the president, even though he is not up for re-election till 2020.
