I went with the title NYTimes gave it on their home page rather than the wordy header on the page itself. That's "Midterm Elections Live Updates: Democrats Seize Control of Congress as Voters Rebuke Trump"

I don't think we're gonna get our $5000 checks. LOL

As an Australian, I can say we are all very relieved.

Big collective sigh of relief here in Europe too, I imagine. Our economies have been hurting in no small part because of the unchecked whims of the MAGA inner circle.

The Mississippi senate race is essentially tied, which is kind of an insane result. As well as the Democrats winning practically everything in Texas.

did all that last minute gerrymandering do nothing or did even make this possible?
georgemcbay•14m ago
Gerrymandering doesn't directly impact Senate races because they are state-wide (everyone in the whole state votes for their senators, it isn't district by district), but the Republican gerrymandering in general either backfired or had no real impact more than it helped them this cycle.

A lot of the Republican gerrymandered House districts assumed Latinos who voted for Trump quite a bit in 2024 would continue to do so, but seemingly they did not.

fabian2k•11m ago
Gerrymandering does not affect whole-state races like the Senate. Nobody is re-drawing state borders for every election.

And in some areas gerrymandering did backfire as far as I read, though I didn't look at the specifics.

Dems are currently up 0.2% there, and markets put it at 84% likely a Dem win now. 6 hours ago it was 94% against.

In the senate race there 2 years ago, GOP won by a 26% margin. Different candidates now obviously, but that’s a huge swing. https://votes.decisiondeskhq.com/races/2026-11-03/mississipp...

All I can say is: GOOD.

Democracy still has a fighting chance in USA, and that’s good news.

Best wishes from Europe!

Great outcome, though still a little disappointing that so many people had to feel the negative impact of Trump's incompetence on a personal level to get them to wake up, but better late than never.

Shame that the Democrats flubbed it in Florida (at the senate/governor level, they did get some nice House pickups due to the Republican dummymander).

Angie Nixon ran an incredible campaign and probably could have won if she got any significant support from the DNC.

Maybe Trump, a long-term Democrat who turned quasi-Republican, and mutated the GOP from inside, wanted to further the might of the Democratic Party all along? Imagine this: a secret agent pretends to be all he despises, gets to the very top of the enemy ranks, rots them from the inside, and, hated both by his erstwhile party fellows and his disillusioned rabid supporters, thrusts victory after victory into the hands of its formal (and proclaimed) enemy. In a couple of years he steps down, ridiculed, but keeps his true allegiance secret, like a real hero.

What a movie that could be.

It’s a bloodbath for Republicans. Even the guy in charge of leading GOP efforts to win the House lost.

It is hard to be 'anti-establishment' when you are the establishment. That's one of the reasons why Trump won, lost, won the election.

Seems bad for data centers and AI, though the benefit of keeping the deranged president in check likely outweighs lost progress following from anti-tech populism.
