The 2026 US midterm elections have delivered a significant setback to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Democrats have secured control of the Senate after gaining five seats, including victories in Texas, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina. They have also flipped several Republican-held House seats, putting them in a strong position to regain control of the lower chamber. Democrats achieved major gubernatorial victories in Georgia, Ohio, Iowa and Texas. The results reflect voter dissatisfaction over inflation, rising living costs and Trump's policies. The House outcome remains under counting, while Trump's political influence faces renewed scrutiny. (PC: The Times of India)
