WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2026 — Early Associated Press election results showed Democrats and their independent allies securing 54 Senate seats against 42 Republicans. In the House, Democrats had won 224 seats compared with 135 Republicans, with additional races still undecided.
The sweeping victory included Democratic gains in traditionally Republican states such as Texas, Kansas and South Carolina.
The results also signal widespread voter dissatisfaction over the cost of living, economic uncertainty and the ongoing war with Iran.
Trump now faces a divided government during the final two years of his presidency.
