Tap title to read story
From Kyiv to Moscow, and Tehran to Tel Aviv, all eyes were on the Democrats big win as foreign powers weigh how a flipped Congress will affect international relations.
One color dominates international headlines about the U.S. midterm election results.
French newspaper Libération called the Democrats' win "une vague bleue," or blue wave, Britain's Daily Mail dubbed it a "historic blue tsunami," and The Times of India's headline ran "midterm blues for Trump." Countries at war were also watching closely, with Ukrainian newspaper The Kyiv Independent's online headline hopeful: "Democrats seize control of Congress in blow to Trump, potential boost for Ukraine." Russia had a different take.
