Democrats Win Senate, Taking Full Control of Congress Away From Republicans
Democrats gained 6 Senate seats and are projected to take the House, giving them control of both chambers and a major check on President Donald Trump.
- Major media decision desks project that the Democratic Party has won control of the U.S. Senate following the 2026 midterm elections, achieving a net gain of at least four seats to overcome the 53–47 Republican majority.
- The Senate takeover was powered by high-profile flips and historical upsets in key battleground states, including projected Democratic victories by James Talarico in Texas over Ken Paxton, Sherrod Brown reclaiming a seat in Ohio, Roy Cooper winning in North Carolina, and surprise Democratic pickups in Kansas and South Carolina.
- Democrats also held critical battleground territory, with Senator Jon Ossoff securing re-election in Georgia and successful defenses in New Hampshire and Michigan.
- Combined with the projected Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, the dual flip establishes full Democratic control of Congress for the final two years of President Trump's term.
- The shift to a Democratic-controlled upper chamber strips Republicans of their judicial and executive confirmation pipeline while providing Democrats complete authority over Senate committee chairmanships, legislative scheduling, and federal oversight.
