Democrats win historic midterm landslide, taking control of Congress
Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in midterm elections, flipping Republican-held seats across traditionally conservative states.
Democrats achieved a historic victory in Tuesday's midterm elections, winning control of the Senate with 54 seats and the House of Representatives with at least 237 seats, according to projections. Republicans failed to flip any Democratic-held congressional seats. Democrats flipped seven Senate seats in states including Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Maine and North Carolina, many of which had voted for President Trump in 2024. Voters cited high costs, inflation and concerns about Trump's Iran conflict as key reasons for the shift. Trump said he 'couldn't transfer the love' his supporters showed at rallies to other Republican candidates. Democrats take office in January and plan to pursue legislation on affordability, healthcare and ending the Iran war, though Trump has threatened to veto their bills.
