The Guardian reports that Democrats retake the US Senate in the 2026 midterms, flipping seats in Kansas, Texas, South Carolina and North Carolina, with Democrats widely expected to take the House too. Donald Trump, who held 30 rallies and urged supporters to pretend he was on the ballot, declares on election night that he "wasn't on the ballot" and says he'll use the veto power against Democratic legislation while remaining "absolutely willing to accept" the results.
