Democrats will take control of the House in U.S. midterms, networks project
Networks projected Democrats will retake the House as voters cited the economy and Trump’s agenda in a rebuke of the president.
- Network decision desks project that the Democratic Party has won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections, successfully flipping key battleground seats to surpass the 218-seat threshold required for a majority.
- Democrats capitalized on voter dissatisfaction over ongoing economic affordability challenges, President Trump’s 50% tariff policies, and national anxiety surrounding foreign security crises to reclaim the gavel from the Republican narrow majority.

- House Democratic Leadership is preparing for the transition, with caucus leadership positions and committee chairs expected to be finalized as remaining mail-in and absentee ballots are processed across West Coast battleground races.
