Midterm Elections Expected to Give Democrats House Control
Midterm elections are poised to reshape Washington as Democrats look toward securing a House majority. The results could significantly alter the political landscape for President Trump.
The 2026 midterm elections are projected to hand Democrats control of the House of Representatives, reshaping power in the United States capital. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates 222 House districts as favoring Democratic candidates, surpassing the 218-seat majority threshold. This shift could rival the solid 235-seat majority Democrats secured during Donald Trump's first term in 2018.
