Sign up or sign in to ask our team your questions about the results of the midterm elections The 2026 US midterm elections were a forceful rebuke of Donald Trump and the Republicans as Democrats captured control of Congress.

Voters also elected Democratic governors in Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Wisconsin and Ohio, all states Trump won in 2024.
