Executive Briefing

According to reporting by CBS News US Politics, Democrats won sizable House and Senate majorities in the 2026 midterm elections, but the exact margins are unclear because some races haven't been projected yet. Here's where the results stand.

Detailed Factual Report

The makeup of Congress shifted dramatically in the 2026 midterm elections , as Democrats decisively won control of the Senate and picked up dozens of House seats — in what's on track to be one of the largest midterm routs in recent decades .

The exact margins of Congress are not yet clear, as winners have not yet been projected in two Senate races and more than two dozen House races. They include GOP-held districts with razor-thin margins, a few Democratic seats that could flip to Republicans and several races in California and other Western states that still need to count ballots.

Here's a look at the congressional races that CBS News has not yet projected, including where the results stand:

Democrats are set to enter next year with at least 54 Senate seats, compared to Republicans' 44. Two Senate races still haven't been called — one has long been viewed as a battleground, and the other came out of nowhere.
