With approximately 10 Senate elections concluded, Democrats gained 43 seats and Republicans gained 32, a net gain of one seat for the Democrats. Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper defeated the Republican candidate, achieving the first Senate flip in this midterm election. Votes are still being counted in swing states such as Ohio, Texas, South Carolina, and Michigan, with Democrats temporarily leading in early counts of some Republican-held seats. Democrats need to gain three more seats to regain a majority in the Senate.

The 2026 US midterm elections will be held on November 4th. As of 8 PM ET on November 3rd, the Senate Democrats maintained 43 seats and Republicans 32, while the House Democrats held 45 seats and Republicans 19. Democrats performed strongly in early voting in eastern states, but vote counting is still underway in western polling stations, and overall control remains uncertain. If Republicans lose, President Trump's legislative dominance for the remainder of his term will be limited, and Democrats may take control of relevant committees, potentially delaying regulatory legislation such as the Clarity Act and increasing scrutiny of the crypto industry.
