In the 2026 US midterm elections, Democrats secured majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, giving them control of Congress. All 435 House seats, 37 of the 100 Senate seats, and gubernatorial races in 36 states were contested. The outcomes were described as a major blow to President Trump, with the Iran war and economic challenges also said to have affected his standing. The results marked a shift away from the Republican agenda.
