Democrats Sweep Congress; More Election Results
By Beth Milligan | Nov. 4, 2026
Democrats took control of Congress – winning both the House and Senate – in what the Associated Press called a “stunning rejection of President Trump’s power” in the midterm elections Tuesday. Democrats won several historic gubernatorial races and flipped Senate seats including Texas, South Carolina, Ohio, Maine, Iowa, Kansas, and North Carolina.
In Michigan, Democrat Jocelyn Benson clinched the gubernatorial race shortly before 2am. In one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed won over Republican Mike Rogers, a race called at 2:30am with El-Sayed leading by six points with 87 percent of votes counted.
