Democrats Win Senate, Taking Full Control of Congress Away From Republicans
Democrats flipped enough seats to control both chambers, as voters rebuked Trump over the economy, inflation and the Iran war, exit polls showed.
- On Tuesday, Democrats captured the U.S. Senate majority and neared control of the House of Representatives, delivering a decisive rebuke to President Donald Trump in the 2026 midterm elections.
- Voters nationwide expressed deep frustration with the country's direction, fueled by high living costs, government corruption, and the unpopular war with Iran that drove their rejection of Trump's agenda.
- Texas State Representative James Talarico defeated Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas, while South Carolina candidate Annie Andrews upset Darline Graham, marking the first Democratic Senate wins in those states in decades.
- President Trump claimed on social media that he "would have won IN A LANDSLIDE" if on the ballot, even as his hand-picked candidates lost across South Carolina, Texas, North Carolina, and Michigan.
- Democratic control of the Senate will profoundly reshape Trump's final two years in office, hampering his legislative agenda and opening the door to aggressive investigations of his administration.
