Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in Tuesday's 2026 midterm elections, delivering a sweeping rebuke of President Donald Trump's agenda and reshaping the final two years of his term. Democrats secured at least a 10-seat House majority, with Senate pickups in North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, and Kansas. Texas elected its first Democratic senator in three decades, James Talarico, and Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeated Republican Governor Greg Abbott. Historic wins included Keisha Lance Bottoms as Georgia's first Black woman governor and Abdul El-Sayed as the first Muslim senator. Voters approved abortion-rights measures in Missouri and Virginia, while economic concerns over inflation drove turnout.
