Annie Andrews has won a Republican-held Senate seat in South Carolina, Australia's Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports, adding a significant Democratic gain to its coverage of the U.S. midterm elections.

The broadcaster published Andrews's speech to supporters separately from its special, "US Midterms live coverage | ABC NEWS". Another follow-up features Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff, whom the network reports defeated Republican Mike Collins to retain his Senate seat.

Those results sit alongside Americas Editor John Lyons's account of Donald Trump's displeasure with Fox News's election coverage. Lyons reports that early trends suggest a substantial Democratic victory. That assessment is not a final determination of control of Congress.

The live special brings Lorna Dunkley and Jade Macmillan together with Planet America's John Barron, while election analyst Casey Briggs handles the big-screen results. Correspondents across the United States contribute to the coverage, which began on Wednesday morning in Australia as Tuesday's election unfolded in America.

The elections determine the membership of Congress during Trump's second presidential term, with every House seat and a portion of Senate seats contested. Control of the chambers shapes the president's ability to pass legislation and the scrutiny his administration faces.

The special drew about 78,000 views since yesterday. Separate speech uploads give viewers a way to hear Andrews and Ossoff without navigating the full broadcast.
