The Associated Press reports that Democrats swept the 2026 midterm elections, taking full control of state governments in at least five states, winning the Texas House for the first time since 2002, and electing Gina Hinojosa as Texas's first Democratic governor since 1994. Republicans' Trump-urged redistricting backfired, and Democrats will hold at least 28 governorships in 2027, with newly elected governors in Wisconsin and Minnesota saying they want to work with Republicans.
