US 2026 midterm election results in maps and charts

bbc.com —

Democrats have taken control of the US Senate and are projected to win the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections, according to CBS News, marking an extraordinary night for the party. The party secured unexpected Senate victories in South Carolina and Kansas, alongside pick-ups in North Carolina, Texas, Iowa, Ohio, and Maine, with one toss-up seat remaining in Alaska and Mississippi now competitive. Democrats also held key Florida districts despite Republican-favored redistricting, and a major poll indicates Hispanic voters backed the Democratic Senate candidate by 55% to 44%, a reversal from 2024, with the economy cited as the top voter concern.
