Two‑year Treasury yields slipped to their lowest level in two months as early vote counts gave Democrats control of Congress. The first returns showed voters pushed back against President Trump and his party, taking away Republican majorities amid broad economic frustration.

In Maine, former state Senate leader Troy Jackson defeated long‑time incumbent Susan Collins for the U.S. Senate seat. The win is described as a key step for Democrats aiming to reclaim the Senate majority. Reporting differs on Collins’s tenure, with some sources saying she served for nearly three decades and others noting she first took office in 1997. How the new Democratic seat will shift the overall Senate balance and what policy goals Jackson will pursue remain unclear.

On election night, President Trump launched a criticism of Fox News, targeting the network’s on‑air personalities, its polling, and its overall coverage as voters waited for results. The remarks come as the party faces a growing Democratic surge, and Fox’s editorial choices this cycle have shown less consistent alignment with Trump’s preferences.

Here's Theo with business.
