Democrats have flipped two Senate seats in the US midterm elections, with historic firsts including the election of the country's first Black female governors. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Guardian.

With polls beginning to close in western states, we’re seeing a number of trends emerging in tonight’s midterm results. The night has favored Democrats, with three of the president’s Senate endorsements losing their races so far, and with three Democrats holding on to seats even in heavily redrawn districts in Florida. The night has also seen historic firsts, including the election of the country’s first Black female governors.

Democrats have flipped two Senate seats, with Roy Cooper elected to represent North Carolina and Annie Andrews elected to represent South Carolina. Cooper’s victory marks the first time since 2008 years voters in North Carolina have sent a Democrat to Congress’s upper chamber, and Andrews’ win marks the first time South Carolina will send a Democrat to the Senate since 1998.
