Republicans take the House of Representatives in big blow for Biden
His Democratic Party has lost control of the lower house of Congress, which will make it harder for him to pass his legislative programme, projections show.
Control of the Senate means some appointments can still be made by Mr Biden. But without the House of Representatives' backing, his legislative programme is dead in the water. While received wisdom says incumbent parties tend to fare worse during the midterms - so named for being held halfway through a president's time in office - the Democrats did better.
Mr Biden, who has been in Indonesia for the G20 summit, has hailed the results of the midterms, while Mr Trump - eyeing a potential rematch for the White House in 2024 - has finally confirmed he will run for president again.
