US midterms deliver historic firsts and Republican upsets

US midterm elections produced major upsets and a wave of historic firsts as Democrats made gains in key races. In Texas, three-term Republican Governor Greg Abbott lost to Democrat Gina Hinojosa, the state's first Hispanic governor. Democrat Abdul El-Sayed became the first Muslim elected to the US Senate, while Keisha Lance Bottoms is projected to become the first Black woman governor in US history.
