04.11.2026 ⇢ The Day Democrats Swept Congress
⌨

Returns began with holds for Warner in Virginia and Ossoff in Georgia before Roy Cooper's win in North Carolina gave Democrats their first Senate flip, followed by New Hampshire. Projections of a House majority followed, then widened as Annie Andrews ousted Republicans in South Carolina and James Talarico defeated Ken Paxton in Texas, ending a three-decade statewide drought.

By late night every desk projected Democratic control of both chambers, with additional flips in Kansas, Ohio, Iowa and Maine, where Troy Jackson ended Susan Collins's nearly 30-year tenure, and Abdul El-Sayed taking Michigan. Exit polls cited the economy and the Iran war.

Attention turned to fallout as Trump said he was surprised, Vice President Vance blamed the war, Speaker Mike Johnson said he would not seek minority leadership and Hakeem Jeffries launched a bid for speaker amid talk of oversight and impeachment.
