## Key points

- Democrats have won control of the US Senate.
- They flipped at least seven seats, including in Texas and Kansas.
- The shift leaves Trump facing an opposition-controlled Senate.

## Summary

The Democrats have regained control of the US Senate in the 2026 midterm elections, according to Associated Press projections, shifting legislative power away from President Donald Trump’s Republicans. The result ends the Republicans’ control of the presidency, Senate and House, and means Trump will face a Senate majority from the opposing party.

Democrats needed to gain four seats and had flipped at least seven by late Tuesday, securing at least 54 seats; several races were still unresolved. Notable wins included South Carolina, Texas and Kansas, states where Democrats had not won Senate seats for decades, as well as races in North Carolina, Ohio, Maine and Iowa. Trump said the Iran war and higher fuel costs may have hurt Republicans, while also saying he would have won by a landslide if he had been on the ballot.
