Politics Desk

In Short: Election results indicate a significant shift in political power, with Democrats making gains in key races.

Election results from the 2026 midterms show Democrats making substantial gains, with the party decisively winning control of the Senate and picking up dozens of House seats.

According to Inside Elections, the results marked a significant setback for President Donald Trump, with Democrats making gains in several states that had been considered Republican strongholds.

Voters decided all 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats, and 36 governorships, with election results beginning to come in as polls closed across the country.

President Trump, in a post on Truth Social, described the results as a 'giant step back in history' for the United States, while some Republicans, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, blamed the losses on the president.

The election results came amid voter discontent over rising living costs, inflation, and the administration's policies, including its approach to immigration and the war with Iran.

Some 10% of voters backed the Jewish supremacist far-right, with politicians like Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich promising to establish Jewish settlements in Gaza even as results were being announced.

The results represent a significant shift in the political landscape and could have major implications for the remainder of Trump’s presidency.

States will certify results only after completing their canvass and other required procedures, with election results expected to begin coming in on Tuesday evening.

The midterm results indicate a need for a wider Republican reckoning, with some voters treating the election as a referendum on Trump and arguing that Democrats must demonstrate results before 2028.
