Story summary

As of November 6, 2026, Democrats won control of Congress in the U.S. midterm elections, marking President Donald Trump's final two years in office with significant challenges. Despite initial concerns and predictions, Democrats secured major victories across several states, including Texas, where Gina Hinojosa became the first Latina governor of Texas after 30 years of Republican rule. This shift could usher in environmental reforms previously blocked by long-standing Republican dominance. The election results also saw close contests in states like South Carolina, where Democrat Annie Andrews narrowly led Senator Darline Graham, a Republican appointed to office following her brother's death. Trump’s deep unpopularity and economic challenges contributed to the Democratic sweep, despite his efforts to downplay issues such as rising gas prices linked to the ongoing war with Iran.

The Lioness of the Senate!' Coulter wrote on X. The biting remark came after 'nepo-Republican' Graham's humiliating loss in Tuesday's election.

Andrews led Graham 51 percent to 47 percent with 86 percent of the vote counted. Trump, who carried the state by 18 points just two years ago, had thrown his weight behind Graham, campaigning for her during the primary runoff and returning twice in the closing weeks of the campaign.
