The Democratic Party secured majorities in both chambers of the US Congress during Tuesday’s midterm elections, marking a significant shift in the American political landscape. President Donald Trump acknowledged the results, stating he was prepared to cooperate with the new Democratic opposition while attributing the Republican defeat to his absence from the ballot. The Associated Press reported that Democrats won at least 51 Senate seats, including historic victories in traditionally red states such as Texas, Kansas, Iowa, and South Carolina. Hakeem Jeffries emerged as the winner for the House leadership, becoming the first Black speaker of the House in history. The rapid pace of the election night calls indicated that Republican candidates were largely non-competitive across various districts.

In the November 2026 US midterm elections, Democrats secured majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, according to partial unofficial results and television network projections. The party achieved unexpected victories in traditionally Republican states such as Texas, Kansas, and both Carolinas. Hakeem Jeffries is projected to become the first Black Speaker of the House, while Democrats won seven seats in states that previously voted Republican. In Texas, Democrat James Talarico defeated Ken Paxton for the Senate, and Gino Hinojosa became the state's first Latina governor. Polls suggested that Hispanic voters who supported Donald Trump in 2024 shifted their support to Democrats due to dissatisfaction with his immigration policies.

Americans are casting their final votes in the U.S. midterm elections, which will determine control of both chambers of Congress and elect governors in numerous states. The outcome will directly impact President Donald Trump's ability to advance his political agenda during the second half of his second term. Early voting has reached record levels, with the University of Florida Election Lab reporting 47.9 million ballots cast by Friday and projecting a total exceeding 58 million, surpassing the 2022 midterms. This surge in participation reflects intense competition between Republicans and Democrats in closely contested Senate races in states such as Texas, North Carolina, and Kansas. The 2025-2026 cycle is breaking financial records, with OpenSecrets estimating total costs at approximately $12 billion, making it the most expensive election cycle in history according to AdImpact. Advertising alone accounts for roughly $7.1 billion, with parties spending $1.4 billion just in the two weeks leading up to the election.
