The 2026 US midterm elections could reshape President Donald Trump's final 2 years in office by changing control of Congress. Four possible outcomes include Democrats winning the House, Republicans retaining the Senate, Democrats gaining control of both chambers, or Republicans holding on to both. A Democratic victory in the House could lead to investigations into Trump's administration and make it harder to pass new laws. If Democrats also win the Senate, their influence over legislation and appointments would grow. However, Trump would retain his presidential powers, including the veto. A Republican victory in both chambers would give him greater legislative support. The final outcome will also influence budget negotiations, government appointments and the political battle ahead of the 2028 presidential election. (PC: News18)
