The 2026 US midterm elections have resulted in the Democrats retaking control of the House of Representatives and gaining several Senate seats, dealing a significant blow to President Donald Trump and his Republican Party. Democrats secured a majority in the House, where all 435 seats were contested, while also making major gains in the Senate, winning Republican-held seats in Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ohio.
