US Mid-Term Election Result 2026 Highlights: US President Trump said early Friday, “The Stock Market suffered one of the Worst Days in History based on the results of the Election.” He blamed Democrats for it.
US Midterm Election Result 2026 Highlights: Democrats have seized control of both chambers of the US Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, scoring sweeping victories in traditionally Republican strongholds and delivering a major electoral setback to President Donald Trump.
The results mark a dramatic shift in American politics, with voters expressing deep frustration over Trump's handling of the economy, the rising cost of living, his administration's policies and the unpopular war with Iran. The victories will usher in a new era of divided government in Washington after two years of Republican control of Congress.
Democrats made significant gains in states that had overwhelmingly backed Trump in the 2024 presidential election. In Texas, the party ended a decades-long losing streak by winning a Senate seat and defeating three-term Republican Governor Greg Abbott. Kansas elected its first Democratic senator in nearly a century, while Democrats also secured a historic Senate victory in South Carolina.
