U.S. Senate Election Results 2026: Who Will Control the Chamber?
Thirty-five Senate seats are on the ballot as Democrats need a net gain of four to win control.
- Control of the U.S. Senate is up for grabs in the 2026 midterm election, with 35 seats contested today. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to win the chamber majority, requiring victories in states President Donald Trump carried in 2024.
- Campaigns have intensified across the country as Democrats target Republican-held seats while defending their own. High-stakes contests in Michigan and other key states are central to both parties' strategies to secure a majority.
- In Texas, Republican Ken Paxton faces Democrat James Talarico in a tight contest; Republican Sen. Susan Collins defends her Maine seat against Democrat Troy Jackson. A Talarico victory would be historic, as no Democrat has won a Texas Senate race since 1988.
- Sherrod Brown faces Republican Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio, while Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff faces Republican Rep. Mike Collins in Georgia. Both races are drawing significant spending and national attention as pivotal contests that could determine chamber control.
- Former President Barack Obama is campaigning for candidates as Democrats aim to overcome the challenge of winning in states that leaned Republican in recent federal cycles. The outcome will reshape the legislative agenda for years to come.
