Story summary

As of November 5, 2026, Democrats won control of both the House and the Senate in the U.S. midterm elections, marking a significant shift from the Republican majority previously holding power. The outcome is seen as a rejection of President Donald Trump's policies, including his war with Iran which contributed to rising gas prices and inflation. In Texas, Senator Ted Cruz called the results a “Watergate-level repudiation” of the GOP and warned that Democrats could push radical agendas harmful to states like Texas if not resisted strongly. The election results have also led to celebrations among American expatriates in London, with many viewing it as a sigh of relief for potential policy reversals on issues such as tariffs affecting countries like the UK.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
