In the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, 2026, Democrats secured control of Congress, ending a decades-long Republican dominance. This shift came despite initial concerns about Trump's unpopularity and Republicans' chances in the Senate. Key factors included high turnout among Asian-American voters and younger demographics, fueling what was described as a "blue wave" for Democrats. The election results saw Democrats gain significant sway over war spending and Trump’s foreign policy decisions, notably his controversial war with Iran. Social media reactions highlighted Trump blaming the Iran conflict for Republican losses while celebrating historic victories like Abdul El-Sayed's Senate win in Michigan.
