2026 midterm results: Democrats win majorities, but key races remain uncalled
Democrats won sizable majorities in the 2026 midterm elections, but final margins remain unclear as winners have not been projected in two Senate races and over two dozen House contests. The party is set to hold at least 54 Senate seats against Republicans' 44, with uncalled races in Alaska and Mississippi. Numerous House districts remain undecided, including GOP-held battlegrounds and Democratic seats facing potential flips, with several Western states still counting ballots. Outcomes in some races may be delayed by ranked-choice voting, outstanding mail-in ballots, and potential runoffs, particularly in Alaska, Louisiana, and California. Final results in certain contests are not expected until weeks after Election Day.
