Democrats Seize House and Senate

November 4, 2026 · 1 h 33 min

Show notes

Democrats take control of both chambers of Congress, with CNN projecting a 54-seat Senate majority and a sizable advantage in the House, while key races in Mississippi and Alaska remain too close to call. Dems notch stunning Senate wins in traditionally red states, including South Carolina, Texas, Iowa and Kansas, expanding their majority beyond pre-election expectations. Meanwhile, vote counting continues in Mississippi, where just dozens of votes separate Democratic challenger Scott Colom and Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, while Alaska's Senate race could hinge on ranked-choice voting.
