Democrats win the US House and Senate as voters deliver a strong rebuke to Trump and Republicans
The Associated Press reports that Democrats swept the November 3, 2026 midterms, winning both chambers of Congress — including James Talarico's upset in Texas, Annie Andrews' win in South Carolina, and governor victories by Gina Hinojosa over Greg Abbott and Keisha Lance Bottoms — in what the AP calls a rebuke of Trump and Republican governance. Donald Trump vowed to veto legislation and said the losses weren't his fault, while the AP Voter Poll found most voters angry or dissatisfied, and the AP writes that Democrats plan investigations of top administration officials, with Pete Hegseth and Elon Musk among possible targets.
