Story summary

In the 2026 U.S. midterms, Democrats won control of Congress, marking a significant shift from Republican dominance. The Democratic victory was particularly notable in traditionally red states like Texas and South Carolina, where Republican Senator Ken Paxton faced Democrat James Talarico and Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham faced Annie Andrews. These races were seen as crucial for determining the balance of power during Donald Trump’s presidency. The midterms came after a contentious Iran war initiated by Trump, which he defended in an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes," asserting it would be historically beneficial despite criticism from conservatives over his proposed immigration policy changes.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
