Democrats Sweep Congress in Midterm Blue Wave
💡 Why it matters
Democratic control of Congress hands them subpoena power and legislative initiative over the final two years of Trump's presidency, reshaping fights on voting rights, abortion, and tech regulation.
Democrats won control of Congress in the 2026 midterms, flipping seven Senate seats in Kansas, Iowa, Texas, Maine, Ohio, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Representative Katherine Clark is poised to become House Majority Leader as the party prepares to challenge Trump's agenda.
