US Democrats Win Control of Both Chambers of Congress in 2026 Midterms
Current overview (not historical)
The Democratic Party has won control of both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections, according to PBS and CBS News. PBS reported that Democrats flipped Senate seats in Texas, Kansas, Iowa, and Ohio previously held by Republicans, while CBS News projected unified Democratic control of Congress. Despite the crypto industry spending nearly $200 million on lobbying, it could not prevent the outcome. The CLARITY bill remains stalled in the Senate, and crypto critics Sherrod Brown, Elizabeth Warren, and Maxine Waters are expected to lead the legislative agenda in the new Congress, pointing to a stricter regulatory outlook for the sector.
