US President Donald Trump on Tuesday hailed the congressional midterm elections as "tremendous success" despite his Republican Party losing control of the House of Representatives.
The Republican Party retained the majority in the Senate, while the Democrats took the majority in the House of Representatives after the midterm elections of the two chambers of Congress.
"Great success tonight," Trump said on his Twitter page. "Thank you all."
On the other hand, the leader of House Democrats Nancy Pelos promised to impose "controls and accountability" again on the Trump administration, stressing at the same time that her party will not wage war on the Republicans after regaining control of the House of Representatives.
Pelosi said at a press conference after the transfer of control in the House of Representatives to the Democrats, "It is now beyond Democrats and Republicans, it is about the restoration of the controls and accountability provided by the Constitution to the administration (President) Donald Trump," vowing to "work on solutions to our community, Because we are all fed up with divisions. "
The NBC estimates that the Democrats will get 229 seats in the House compared to 206 Republicans.
She also said Republicans would get 50 seats in the Senate versus 39 Democrats, and 11 seats had yet to be decided.
Democrat control of the House of Representatives will be difficult for Trump in the next two years of his mandate to pass some of his legislation on immigration and medical care.
Tuesday's vote was held on all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 in the Senate.
