Democrats also won the Texas Senate race and rejected a California Billionaire wealth tax.
The 2026 midterm elections left the Democratic Party in control of both chambers of Congress. Democrats secured a majority in the house of Representatives and retained their senate majority. The party also captured the contested Texas Senate seat. State voters rejected a proposed Billionaire wealth tax in California.
Republican candidates failed to win enough districts to claim a house majority. The resulting composition gave Democrats a clear governing margin. The outcome reflected the national vote distribution across competitive races.
