Democrats Take Control of House and Senate in Midterm Election

New York, NY, November 4, 2026—Democrats are on track to have 228 House seats and 54 Senate seats, reports Morning Brew.

Pundits viewed the election as a referendum on the Trump administration with voters citing the economy as the most important issue, with a majority disapproving of the president’s handling of it as inflation persists.

At an average of over $4/gallon, gas prices are also believed to have contributed to the election’s outcome.
