Story summary

In the 2026 U.S. midterm elections on October 25, Democrats secured control of Congress, marking a significant shift in power from the Republicans during President Donald Trump's final two years in office. The election results saw Democrats winning in key Republican strongholds such as Texas, South Carolina, and Kansas. Despite initial challenges and uncertainties leading up to the elections, including issues with candidate nominations like Graham Platner's resignation amid sexual assault allegations, Democrats managed a decisive victory that was not predicted by many political analysts beforehand. The outcome left Republicans scrambling to reorganize their leadership in Congress as they prepare for a minority position, with House Republicans set to choose between Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan as their new leader on November 10.
