Democrats received almost as many midterms votes as Trump in presidential election - results show it

Democratic candidates are forecast to receive more than 60.5 million votes in total for the house once the final ballots have been counted.

If accurate, the figure would be the closest an opposition party has come in a midterm election to matching the president’s backing two years earlier.

Donald Trump received just shy of 63 million votes in 2016, as he lost the popular vote but achieved a comfortable victory under the electoral college system.
