**Winners and Losers. The landscape after the US midterm elections**
The night into November 4 following the US Congressional midterm elections became moments of euphoria for Democratic supporters and sadness for Republican ones. The campaign headquarters of candidates from both parties had organized nationwide parties in advance to celebrate and watch the election results live. As the voting results began to come in, the mood in the different camps started to shift in opposite directions. The final results have not yet been officially announced, but it is already known that the Republicans, led by the declining-rating Donald Trump, lost the election, while the Democrats gained control over both the House of Representatives and the US Senate.
