Voters across the United States participated in the 2026 midterm elections, casting ballots in Senate, House, and gubernatorial races across all 50 states as a referendum on President Donald Trump's agenda.
Following a night of voting and ongoing updates, live election tracking showed Democrats securing significant gains. According to reports covering the results, Democrats flipped multiple Senate seats—reaching at least seven by early counts—and overcame Republican redistricting efforts to capture control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, alongside several key governorships.
The outcomes shift the balance of power in Washington, impacting the remainder of the presidential term and setting the stage for increased congressional oversight and investigations.
