BBC reports that in the 3 November 2026 midterms, seen as a verdict on Donald Trump's second administration, Democrats were projected by CBS News to take both chambers of Congress — a 52-seat Senate majority and at least 239 House seats. Projected firsts include a Muslim senator, an openly gay male senator, and Georgia's first Black woman governor; Trump, posting that his name was off the ballot, told the New York Times he accepts the results and looks forward to working with Democrats.
