## Summary

Democrats made major gains in the 3 November 2026 midterms, exposing how the diverse coalition that helped Donald Trump win in 2024 had fractured. Early results gave Democrats control of both chambers of Congress, marking a sharp reversal in voter support.

About 56% of voters chose Democrats and 43% Republicans, a shift of roughly 15 points since 2024. Democrats led among men and women, and won 70% of voters aged 18 to 29; support also swung strongly towards them among Latino, Black and Asian voters. The article links these changes to groups’ responses to Trump’s policies and unmet expectations.
