Photos: US Democrats celebrate winning control of Congress

Democrats have won control of both the US Senate and House of Representatives in a nationwide rebuke of President Donald Trump, according to Al Jazeera. The midterm results include a series of historic firsts, including the first Black female governor, the first openly gay male senator, the first Muslim senator and the first female Native American governor. The gains give the opposition power to block legislation, launch investigations into the administration and challenge judicial and senior appointments.

US Midterm Elections 2026

Democrats won sweeping victories in the 2026 US midterm elections, retaking the House of Representatives and flipping at least six Senate seats to gain full control of Congress. The results, widely seen as a rebuke of President Donald Trump, included historic firsts such as Kansas electing a Democratic senator for the first time in 94 years and South Carolina sending a Democrat to the Senate for the first time in nearly 30 years. Economic frustration, particularly over petrol and grocery prices following the war with Iran, was cited as a driving factor.
