First reactions to the Democratic sweep may have mixed acceptance and caution

Democrats won majorities in both chambers of Congress in the Nov. 3 midterms, according to race calls reported by The Associated Press, NPR and NBC News. President Trump said he accepts the results but, AFP reported, could veto bills he opposes, while U.S. stock futures reversed sharp overnight losses as investors weighed the outcome, Reuters reported. Read together, the first reactions may have paired acceptance of the result with caution about what comes next.
