Democrats look poised to win House control in midterms, Guardian reports
The Guardian reports Democrats are on track to win the U.S. House in the 2026 midterms, while CBS News is still tracking results with no winner stated.
Democrats appear on track to win control of the U.S. House in the 2026 midterm elections, according to The Guardian. The outlet says the party is expected to flip the seats it needs without much difficulty.
The Guardian says Democrats need to flip just three seats. Republicans currently hold 218 seats and Democrats hold 214. One Republican seat and one Democratic seat are vacant. One Republican member has switched his party affiliation to independent.
The Guardian says a Democratic majority would give the party a platform for strong oversight of the Trump administration during its last two years. It says the expected result comes despite aggressive Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts.
CBS News is running a results tracker for the House race. Its report, published earlier, does not say who has won or is leading.
