Updated 2026 Midterm Results: Democrats Solidify Control of Congress

As of mid-November 2026, vote counting and race calls continue to firm up the outcomes of the November 3 midterm elections, confirming Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate.

In the Senate, Democrats hold 54 seats and Republicans 44, with two races still uncalled (Alaska and Mississippi). Democrats flipped at least seven Republican-held seats, including notable victories in Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, and Maine. If Democrats prevail in the remaining contests, their majority could expand further.

In the House of Representatives, Democrats have secured approximately 254–255 seats so far, with Republicans at around 165–167 and a number of races still outstanding. Projections indicate Democrats will finish with a majority in the range of 255–259 seats, representing a net gain of roughly 40 or more seats from the previous Congress.

The results mark a significant shift in control of Congress. The new 120th Congress is scheduled to convene on January 3, 2027, at which point Democrats will assume majority leadership in both chambers.

Some races remain subject to final certification, recounts, or outstanding ballots, but the overall balance of power is settled in favor of Democratic majorities.
