APTOPIX Election 2026 South Carolina Senate

Democrats have won control of the U.S. House, along with the U.S. Senate, delivering a shockingly decisive rebuke of Republican governance in Washington and ushering in a new era of congressional resistance to President Donald Trump. The midterm elections that came to a close Tuesday channeled voters’ deep frustration with high prices, the war in Iran and concerns about government corruption. Democratic control will profoundly reshape Trump’s final two years in office and likely hamstring his ability to push his agenda. Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer called it a “generational remake of the Senate map,” and Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries said “the American people are crying out for transformational change.”
