2026 Midterm Election Results

Live vote totals and race calls will track Illinois contests, including a Senate race to replace retiring Dick Durbin and a governor rematch.

  • Democrats secured majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate on Tuesday, capitalizing on widespread disapproval of President Donald Trump's performance during his second term.
  • Economic hardship and foreign policy frustrations fueled the Democratic surge, making previously safe Republican districts competitive across the country amid voter discontent with the Trump administration and the war with Iran.
  • Key legislative flips included James Talarico winning Texas's Senate seat, Troy Jackson defeating Maine's incumbent, and Adam Hamilton defeating incumbent Roger Marshall in Kansas, underscoring Democratic success in traditionally Republican strongholds.
  • State-Level executive offices also shifted as Hannah Pingree won Maine's governorship and Keisha Lance Bottoms became Georgia's first Black woman elected governor, while Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro secured reelection.
  • The 120th Congress is scheduled to convene on January 3, 2027, positioning Democrats to leverage their new legislative control ahead of the 2028 presidential election cycle.
