American voters have delivered a stunning blow to Donald Trump and his Republican party in the midterm elections. Both the Senate and the House have flipped. Such a victory will have a major impact on President Trump's ability to govern. The President has said he believes the Republicans suffered losses because he was not on the ballot.
