Democrats win US House majority in 2026 midterms

welt.de (German) —

Republicans lost their majority in the US House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections, with Democrats projected to take control of the chamber, according to CNN and NBC News. President Donald Trump acknowledged the results, saying he would work with Democrats, while also claiming on Truth Social that he would have won by a landslide if he had been on the ballot. Democrats also won key races in Texas, Ohio, Georgia, and South Carolina. The losses mark a significant setback for Trump, who had campaigned heavily for Republican candidates. Democrats secured several historic victories, including the first Black female governor in US history in Georgia and the first openly gay man elected to the Senate.
