How Trump’s 2024 voter coalition collapsed in the 2026 midterms

lemonde.fr (French) [$] —

The Republican Party suffered a major defeat in the US midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3, signaling the collapse of the voter coalition that secured Donald Trump's 2024 victory. Democrats have already secured majorities in both the House and Senate. Democrats currently hold 240 House seats and 54 Senate seats, surpassing the 218 and 50 required for majorities. Early data shows Democrats leading the popular vote by 56% to 43%, a swing of approximately 15 points from the 2024 election. The Republican decline is attributed to significant losses among key demographic groups that previously supported Trump, including young men and Latino voters. Democrats now lead among men (51% to 48%) and maintain a strong advantage among women (61% to 38%).
