Quick Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed enthusiasm following the U.S. midterms, stating that he was “doing cartwheels” after Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives and maintained their Senate presence. He viewed this outcome as a rebuke to U.S. President Donald Trump but also noted that trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. remain unresolved despite the election results.

Story summary

As of November 5, 2026, Democrats won control of both the House and the Senate in the U.S. midterm elections, marking a significant shift from the Republican majority previously holding power. The outcome is seen as a rejection of President Donald Trump's policies, including his war with Iran which contributed to rising gas prices and inflation. In Texas, Senator Ted Cruz called the results a “Watergate-level repudiation” of the GOP and warned that Democrats could push radical agendas harmful to states like Texas if not resisted strongly. The election results have also led to celebrations among American expatriates in London, with many viewing it as a sigh of relief for potential policy reversals on issues such as tariffs affecting countries like the UK.

Why this leaning score

The model judged this article politically coded and scored it +0.35, but all 2 of its quote(s) are attributed speech - words the article quotes from someone, not the article's own narration, so the score is not published.

Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph rather than checkable quotes. Re-analysing this article replaces it.
