The Democrats control the House of Representatives and are on track to gain the Senate as well.

Democratic candidates are performing well in the U.S. midterm elections, with early results indicating a likely majority in the House of Representatives. Key states like South Carolina, North Carolina, and Texas, traditionally Republican strongholds, have seen Democratic victories. Notably, James Talarico won in Texas against Trump-backed Ken Paxton, and Georgia elected its first female Democratic governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms. The Democrats have gained six House seats previously held by Republicans, with ongoing vote counting in many districts. Official results may take days to finalize, but the Democrats are poised to regain control of the House, allowing them to lead committees and investigate the Trump administration.
