US Midterm Elections 2026
Democrats pulled off a stunning upset in the 2026 US midterms, winning 53 Senate seats and flipping control of the House of Representatives, according to the Associated Press. The result hands Democrats both chambers of Congress for the first time since Barack Obama's second term, giving them subpoena power, a role in confirming or blocking Trump's nominees, and leverage over spending — though Trump has vowed to veto their agenda.
