Democrats scored a historic victory in the November 3, 2026, US midterm elections, capturing control of both the House of Representatives and Senate. The party flipped several traditionally Republican seats, including victories in Texas, Kansas, Ohio, Iowa and South Carolina. The results represent a significant setback for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Voter dissatisfaction over rising living costs, inflation, tariffs and the Iran war reportedly contributed to the Republican losses. The Democratic victory gives the party greater power to challenge Trump's policies and scrutinise his administration during the remaining two years of his presidency. (PC: HT)
