Democrats swept to full control of the U.S. Congress on Tuesday, flipping key seats in a landslide election that severely disrupted President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Voters expressed deep frustration with rising living costs, tariffs, and Trump’s ongoing war against Iran, which drove fuel prices higher nationwide.

Democratic victories spanned both chambers, handing the party enough power to block Trump’s legislative agenda, obstruct judicial nominations, and launch investigations into his administration during his final two years in office.

The Senate shifted after Democrats picked up six seats previously held by Republicans, including landmark wins in Kansas and Iowa.

Methodist minister Adam Hamilton defeated incumbent Roger Marshall in Kansas, making Hamilton the state’s first Democratic U.S. senator since 1932.

Democratic candidates also captured seats in Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Ohio.

In Texas, James Talarico won his Senate race while Gina Hinojosa ousted incumbent Governor Greg Abbott.

Further south, Keisha Lance Bottoms won the Georgia governorship, becoming the first Black woman elected governor in U.S. history.

In the House of Representatives, Democrats flipped competitive districts across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky, Arizona, and Indiana, where Democrat J.D. Ford defeated incumbent Victoria Spartz.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries celebrated the victories, declaring the MAGA movement “on the run,” while positioning himself to potentially become the first Black Speaker of the House in January.

Facing a new legislative reality, Trump told The New York Times that he accepts the election results, but he quickly posted an image of a red hat featuring the word “VETO” to signal his strategy for opposing Democratic bills.
