The House and Senate go blue

Genevieve Condon, Managing Editor November 4, 2026 1 minute read

The Democratic party has won control of the House of Representatives and Senate, a drastic shift that has not occurred since 2020, according to the United States House of Representatives. 

NBC News states that Democrats have won control of Congress after an analysis projected the party will win at least 252 House seats. Democrats have flipped seven Senate seats including Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Texas, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina, according to NBC. 

Trump has told the New York Times, “I am absolutely willing to accept those results. We’ll work with the Democrats, and we’ll, you know, look forward to working with them. We’ll probably work something out.” However, Trump has also said that so many Republicans lost because he was not on the ballot, according to CBS News. 

The Guardian states the Democratic party plans to challenge immigration enforcement and certain vaccine practices, as well as investigating the Epstein files.
