The Senate remains in the control of the Republicans.
The Democrats and Republicans are two political parties in the United States (groups of people with very different ideas about how the country should be run). US President Donald Trump is a Republican.
On Nov. 6, the United States had a big election, called the "mid-term" elections. Americans vote for who they wanted to represent them in two main branches of their government: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

It's complicated--too complicated to explain fully here--but it's good to have an idea about what it is and why it is important.
Back in 1994, the US, Canada and Mexico made a deal to all become "trading partners." That means, each country would partner with the others to make it easy to buy and sell things and services back and forth. That deal was called NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement.
When countries don't have a deal like that, it's sometimes hard for one country to sell things to another country.
