Story summary

In the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, Democrats won control of Congress, flipping both the House and Senate from Republicans in a significant upset. Despite President Donald Trump's claim that his administration had lowered consumer prices, rising costs associated with the Iran war and high inflation led to widespread voter dissatisfaction. The election results, announced on November 3, saw Democrats securing victories even in traditionally Republican strongholds like Texas and Kansas. Post-election, Trump acknowledged Vice President JD Vance’s criticism that the war against Iran was a major factor in the Republicans' losses but also noted that "a lot of people didn't like" Vance's comments.
