"We really cleaned house": Blue wave sees Democrats take control of Congress

Democrats in the US have taken complete control of Congress, winning majorities in the Senate and the House of Representatives.  

The US midterm elections have seen seven Senate seats flip, along with 27 House seats.  

Strong Republican seats like Texas, Kansas and South Carolina went Democrat for the first time in decades. 

Democratic Strategist and former Chief of Staff to Senator Kristen Gillibrand, Joi Chaney told Mike Hosking they knew they we going to win, but the size of the win shocked people. 

She says exit polls show the economy was a big issue for voters, but so was the racism, bigotry, and ugliness from the Republican Party.
