It was not the “blue wave” tsunami the Democrats had hoped for, but the party did successfully wrest control of the House of Representatives. The Democrats gained over 30 seats in the House to give them their first majority since 2006, during George W Bush’s second term, and which was lost in 2010 two years after Barack Obama took office. But the Republicans clung on to the Senate – the upper house – in an election that saw them defending nine seats – far fewer than the Democrats’ 26 which were up for grabs.
