Politico's live blog of the 2026 midterm elections reports that Democrats have won Senate control, securing their four-seat net pickup through wins in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Kansas, Iowa and Ohio, alongside a net gain of seven House seats. Troy Jackson unseated five-term Senator Susan Collins in Maine, Republicans lost seats in Indiana and Wisconsin, and Chuck Schumer calls the result a "generational remake" while some Republicans begin blaming Donald Trump for the losses.
