Democrats win Congress, governorships in 2026 midterms, rebuke Trump
Briefing by News4U · First published
Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate on November 3, 2026, and captured governorships in former Republican strongholds such as Texas, ending Republican control of Congress and marking the largest midterm repudiation of a sitting president since 1974. Voters cited costs, the Iran war and unfulfilled promises on prices and corruption. Republicans who survived are expected to distance themselves from Trump, and Democrats plan investigations and may seek to replace Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. [1] [2]
