Midterm election results in full: Live maps with Mississippi Senate race too close to call

Key Points:

• Democrats have secured control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections, winning key races in traditionally Republican states such as Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Ohio, Maine, and Iowa.
• The election results mark a significant setback for President Donald Trump, as his political opponents gain crucial influence over policymaking during his final two years in office.
• Historic Democratic victories include wins by James Talarico in Texas, Annie Andrews in South Carolina, Sherrod Brown in Ohio, and Jon Ossoff retaining his Senate seat in Georgia, preventing a Republican takeover there.
• The midterms were widely viewed as a referendum on Trump’s presidency, with Democrats criticizing his administration’s handling of the economy and international conflicts, while Republicans framed Democrats as too extreme.
• Trump acknowledged the Democrats’ strong performance but indicated he would use his veto power against legislation he opposes, particularly on immigration and transgender rights, despite expressing a willingness to work with the new Congress.
