Story summary

In the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, 2026, Democrats won control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, marking a significant shift from Republican dominance during President Donald Trump's second term. The victory shattered records and exceeded expectations, handing Democrats a mandate for substantial policy changes. Despite Trump's deep unpopularity, Republicans faced unexpected challenges in retaining their majority. Key races, such as Maine’s Senate seat and Texas governor's race, saw decisive Democratic victories. The results indicate voter dissatisfaction with economic pressures linked to the Iran war and trade policies.
