Democrats have won control of BOTH the House and Senate in the 2026 midterm elections. So, what does that mean for President Donald Trump, Congress, and the next two years? In today's episode, we're breaking down the election results, including the seven Republican-held Senate seats Democrats flipped, victories in states like Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina, and the still-uncalled Senate races in Alaska and Mississippi. We explain Alaska's ranked-choice voting system, the results of the House elections, and the governor's races in states like Texas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, and Tennessee. We're also covering the ballot measures voters decided on, including abortion rights amendments in Virginia, Missouri, Idaho, and Nevada; voter ID requirements; Florida's property tax amendment; and California's proposed billionaire tax. Plus, we'll go through some of the historical firsts from Tuesday's election. Then, we'll look at how President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Democratic congressional leaders responded to the results before answering YOUR election questions. What can Democrats actually accomplish with control of Congress and a Republican president? How do presidential vetoes and the Senate filibuster work? Could another impeachment lead to Trump's removal from office? Does the economy perform better under divided government? How can news networks call elections when barely any votes have been counted? And what could these results mean for state laws and individual rights? We're covering all of that and more in this special 2026 midterm election recap, breaking down what happened, what's still unresolved, and what comes next. Episode Breakdown: 1.
