Democratic Party wins US Senate in 2026 midterm elections

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 3 November 2026 and 4 November 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

The outcome is widely seen as a rebuke to Trump's Republican Party, which won control of the chamber in 2024.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame this as live election coverage, with the New York Times and National Review each inviting readers to follow updates and analysis. The difference is in emphasis: National Review’s headline is a general “Live Updates” label, while The New York Times focuses on how to follow its own reporting. A later Times piece, mentioned only in its own extract, adds that its journalists are watching for election issues, polling problems and misinformation, and gathering tips in one main place.
