- They gained 41 House seats and at least seven Senate seats.
- Voter dissatisfaction with Trump helped drive the shift.

## Summary

Voters handed Democrats control of both chambers of Congress in a sweeping rebuke to President Donald Trump, signalling a sharp reversal from the previous election. The result matters because it gives Democrats the power to challenge his agenda and reflects widespread dissatisfaction with his leadership and policies.

Democrats gained 41 House seats and flipped at least seven Senate seats, with Alaska and Mississippi still in play as results were being counted. They made gains in traditionally Republican states including Texas, Kansas, Ohio and South Carolina, while holding their existing Senate seats. The article credits a range of locally rooted candidates and voter discontent over issues including immigration enforcement, Iran policy, government cuts, healthcare and rising prices.
