Mississippi Senate race too close to call as Democrats win Congress

Democrats are projected to win control of both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections, according to ABC News projections, marking a significant shift in congressional power. The party secured key victories in several high-stakes races, including gubernatorial wins in Wisconsin and Nevada, while Republicans held their Senate seat in Nebraska. Voters also elected the country's first Black, Native American and Hispanic female governors, among other historic firsts. The projected "blue wave" comes as ABC News reports on voter turnout and the messages sent through the ballot box. The results will hand Democrats control of both chambers of Congress, succeeding the Republican majority in the House.
