Democrats seize US Congress as voters deliver sweeping rebuke to Trump

Democrats seize US Congress as voters deliver sweeping rebuke to Trump

What's behind this

Democrats flipped Texas, a Republican bastion, for the first time in generations, prompting alarms among Republicans who view the state as essential for winning presidential elections. The 2026 midterm elections gave the Democratic Party control of both chambers of Congress after a series of victories, including several Senate seats in traditionally Republican states. Analysts say a Democratic Congress could significantly constrain President Donald Trump’s foreign policy on issues such as the Iran war and Ukraine, and could intensify investigations, with some Republicans warning that Trump could face impeachment.
