Democrats win control of the House of Representatives with a vow to combat Trump
NBC News reports that Democrats won control of the House in the 2026 midterms with a projected 255 seats — their largest majority in nearly two decades — and also flipped the Senate, defeating GOP incumbents from Pennsylvania to Texas. Hakeem Jeffries is expected to become the first Black speaker on January 3, with Democrats planning oversight of Trump's administration and possible tariff and Medicaid reversals.
