Blue wave, Red resilience or gridlock? Three ways US midterms could play out

What's behind this

Democrats swept Texas in the US midterm elections, ousting Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, winning the Attorney General’s office that Ken Paxton had used to investigate H‑1B visa use, and taking control of the Texas House. Their victories also gave Democrats control of both chambers of Congress for the first time, leading them to vow to curb former President Trump, who is now facing a Democratic Congress. Indian‑origin candidates also expanded their presence across various U.S. races.
